Most of the presets have upper case suffixes, does anyone know what they mean?
For example the first patch is named HyprNochBC, the second is Fimplex HS, and so on.
What does BC and HS signify?
What do the upper case suffixes on the patch names mean?

It's the initials of patch designer - in this case, Ben Crosland and Howard Scarr.

Do you know who SC is as well?

This subject could be more interesting if more names were revealed. Thanks for the info. I'm RR.
