I usually do it to a sequence in open mode, and ask for 3 or 4 
evolving variations. This gives me the original, followed by a 
variation, on that, etc.

I'll usually do this two or 3 times, and see if anything interesting 
emerges. Almost always, though, if the first try sounds really bad, 
my PVG settings aren't suited to the material at hand.

Note that a fair number of similar tricks can be done interactively, 
using the version of Tiger that comes with KCS 5.0 ore 5.11.

Now if I could find someone to fund it, I'd write a real-time 
non-destructive, fully interactive PVG that could work on multiple 
sequences at once.
