   "description" : "Concept: instead of having 3 sustained tones making up a triad, how about having several tones that jump to the notes at random? If a number of these are heard together, the effect of hearing the triad will be the same, except the texture will be much more involving. Try setting noOfSynths to 1 or 2 to understand the concept.\r\nRoom for improvement: pan the tones, perhaps using Splay to make a nice stereo effect."
