Yeah, about that... I guess Willy and I were both thinking at some
point that maybe bands and hoses aren't really so different that they
require two distinct paths through the lsynth code. So we did a quick
and dirty experiment with the STRING_BAND synthesis. I never really
finished it though. At the time I was mostly happy with the hose code
and was thus trying to completely understand the band code so I could
tackle the tread synth problems seen in the betatest page. After that
I figured I could finish any merge between the hose and band code,
wherever it made sense.
Alas the real world became too demanding at that point for me to
devote enough of my time to accomplish this. And that's where we
stand today.
