Generator - has anybody given it a try ?

[Romeo_Fahl at stream.com]

There's a whole series of logic modules on their website.  The only thing I
don't like about generator is that my computer's monitor has no knobs or jacks
on it.

I found it limiting, though I haven't tried a more recent version.
For example, I wanted to simulate Craig Anderton's Pulse Width
Multiplier, basically four comparators w/ inputs for a triangle
wave and three LFOs to set threshold, all mixed using XOR's.
It was impossible w/ generator. It had no comparator, no logic
modules, etc.

For those without large modulars it might be a good place to
start to get a feel of programming a modular. I still
prefer the real thing.

Thomas,

mouse input...
