Yeah, there is. I'm manipulating the rate of it with a seperate task  
with a sample1_play.set.

This works, but I don't know how to control it afterwards.

This works as well, but I don't know how to control that one either.  
That may say more about me, though.

I don't know why this isn't working. It shouldn't make a difference  
if it's called as a variable or not? I just tried calling as variable  
a = Synth("etc...., and that worked as well, but not when I tried to  
call it sample1_play, or just play. Weird.
