Skratz 0022.fsm

Just found a more "recent" version of BDM; version 0.73.204
There don't seem to be any significant functional changes.
The version number is higher, so possibly it contains bug-fixes or other improvements.

Whatever happened to the old SynthMaker forum anyway?
Seems like a lot of good example code has gone, including but certainly not limited to the "Skratz" code you mentioned.

Either way, for completeness sake, here's some other useful stuff that used to be on the SM forum:
