Hope it went well!

Not really that thought out, but after writing some modular soft synths
and then looking closely at supercollider, I wondered if it was possible
to remove all statefulness and make an immutable synth engine.

An then, a couple of weeks ago at the supercollider symposium, James
McCartney's wish list was based all around removing state - so I
definitely feel its an interesting direction to work on.

cheers,
