Soundlab: Lazy signal synthesis in Common Lisp

What do you make of the following under ``SOUNDLAB.COMBINATORS'' on the API page:

``I have no idea what I am doing. I thought I knew but boy am I lost. Still, all this appears to be something good!''

It is as stated, Exploratory/experimental software.

I am not a formally educated sound engineer. So a lot of this is trial and error. The problem got very interesting very fast, and at the point where I established the signal combinator concept in SOUNDLAB, I knew I was beyond simple implementation and arrived at exploration. Because I truly can not fortell the implications of this approach. Thus this honest comment.

Thanks. I appreciate your candor and your work on this.

The comment struck me, because I often feel the same!
