100% sharp snappy tones guaranteed! (ALSO MOST RECENT)

Just added macro "Instructional Narration" This contains Multi Texts that are Snapshot Bank and Snapshot ID selected. I know you guys can't decode my cryptic Snapshot Labels, so these Multi Texts explain the meaning behind the snapshot. This project is NOT hard to operate at all, but there are lots of knobs so I give clarification as to why each Snapshot is worth YOUR time.
Apparently applying phase modulation to formant oscillators sounds pretty sick! I will add instructions, snapshots, and YouTube videos to accompany version 1.0.
--I have nested instructional images in the primary structure, you can find them in the top level of the primary structure, read these for some more information on the project--
---While waiting for me to finish the blocks version I recommend you observe the first and last snapshot banks.---
Updated to 0.731 Inter-Operator modulation paths amended
Updated to Ver 0.73 Created an accompanying Filted Snapshot for almost every snapshot in bank 4. I love the effect of the phase-compensated Xfade set most of the way to 1.
(More snapshots, Filter bypass button replaced with Xfade knob, Every PHM destination given Env modulation, Feedback routing paths added so now every Modulator can send to every other modulator ((rather than C->B->A)), New Oscillator design visible on B panel to the right, Filter Xfaded to clean paths given phase compensation Allpass filters, when X does not =0, full bypass when X=0)
Updated to Ver 0.71 (snapshots fixed, Sel knob limited to active connections)
Using the modulators is interesting, modulating the modulators is really interesting, using the modulators to modulate themselves sounds bad asssssssss.
This thing is really a PHM-focused instrument so why not start adding some of the more unique PHM capabilities (self-modulation), so it's not surprising that it adds so much to the value of the project.
I have improved the modulation scheme allowing all three operators to receive modulation from B and C, I have also added PHD controls at the bottom right of each modulator panel to modulate themselves. Oh yeah, I recommend starting at Modulator C and working towards A, not A towards C.
Refer to the snapshots for examples of interesting parameterizations, the first and last bank are probably the most informative, the "old snapshots" contain a lot of less important (to me) but very interesting examples of the many fat sounds this humble little instrument is capable of.
I have added envelope modulation for the 3 modulators but the envelope panels are only displayed on the B panel. Any knobs you see immediately below a PHM amount knob is a PHM envelope amount knob. I am adding envelope modulation to the inter-modulator PHMs next. In "Bent tones' Snap shot bank, the bottom 5 snapshots utilize envelope modulation, will be adding more soon.
I have started creating instructional images, you can find them embedded in the primary structure, they are color-coded and explain what the controls do. I am continuing to make the comments and infos.
