Another useful method is to enable computer programs to
make design decisions for generating orcs. 
A WWW example may be found at 

http://ssws01.iamas.ac.jp/~eric/CSYNTH/index.shtml

based on simple synthesizer patch flows.

Here are some tips:

1. If you have a slow computer only generate a second or so of sound at a
time so that you have a fast turn around time.

2. When I first started making instruments I used lots of P-Fields.  Now I
try to limit them.  Conventional synthesizers map a lot of things to
velocity.  This is somewhat useful.  I prefer an "accent" field.  You can
use to give a little boost to Fco or Q or add a burst of noise to the
beginning of a flute sound etc.

3. Use Zak audio channels to route the output of instruments to a mixer or
sound effects.  Use Zak kontrol channels to route LFO's and envelopes to
the instruments modulation destinations.

4. Use oscil iamp, 1/idur, itable as a controlable modulation source like a
twisting knob.  Don't use it for ADSR type envelopes.  Constant times
generally work better for ADSR type envelopes. ie:

kenv linseg 0, .1, iamp, .2, .8*iamp, idur-.4, .5*iamp, .1, 0

5. If it suites your purpose or sounds good disregard all of these
suggestions.
