[sdiy] Electronics Workbench

[danielle o'hallisey]

Okay, I'll admit that I haven't sussed out the cut-and-paste thing. Instead,
I do a "save-as" then strip out the stuff I don't want to re-use, just like
you do. This presupposes that I have a fixed concept in mind when I start
playing, though...usually don't.
This has gotten me thinking; it's been a long time since I even used the
program, and am rusty enough with it that I need to review it before making
any major pronouncements. But I also got the upgrade offer recently, and am
thinking seriously about making the jump.

Since I recenly bought a Mac laptop (very used) and since we're discussing a
sort of modular approach to prototyping, I'm wondering if anyone has
experience with Opcode's programming language, Max? Or (for that matter)
Turbosynth? These both seem like great ways to quickly patch together new
ideas and hear how they might work. I don't think either is made anymore,
but could be wrong.

Of course, the ideal way would be to get on with building my own modular.
Lost my modules in a flood a couple of years ago, along with alot of
original guitar effects. Am just now putting together a nice workshop in the
new home...time to roll up my sleeves, I guess!
