OK. OK. For those interested in hearing a silly version of what can
be done with emulation of animal sounds, check out an album we did
with a group called "The Human Remains," in 1989. It's called
"Gorillas in the Mix," (Rykodisc) and was done with all kinds of
emulators with everything from birds, to mammals, to insects, to
crustaceans, etc. etc. A palette of 200 or so creatures. It's out of
print but you can probably find one used on Amazon.

>hello all,
