For 8 years I have sent notes to Syntrillium both complimenting them on the 
useful aspects of COOL and complaining about a FEW aspects I thought would 
be easy to correct.  I have never received verification of any of this email.

One of these is that the FFT Filter (which I use about 1000 times a day 
when I am sound editing) displays the frequency HORIZONTALLY whereas 
obviously the Spectrum displays it VERTICALLY, making what you SEE and what 
you DESIGN-edit at cross purposes. Since spectra have traditionally (since 
Kay Electronics introduced the Spectrogram in the fifties) shown time 
horizonally and frequency vertically, why not swap the FFT display, at 
least give us the OPTION.  I also suggested physical selection of time and 
frequency on the spectrum for more effective way of graphically designing 
morphing filters.  Maybe finally Adobe listens.

Now if they would just stick in a simple cross-correlation process that 
looks for high correlations of a small sample in many large files . . . .

I send my best regards,

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz.  Wonder what kind of grass it is?
