sorry to be so persistent.

\n_mapn, id, \gate, bus, 4

does not really express very well the mapping of the four controls 
\gate, \freq, \amp, \pan.

it is practical, but not expressive. Do you always remember the order 
of args in a synthdef?
or regarding to the parallelism to argument passing:
as soon as using keywords, all other args have to be keywords, too.
