[sdiy] Environmental, Concept, and "Subscription Modules"

[john mahoney]

Hey, somebody has to defend Cyn, here!

The idea has artistic merit, except for the subscription thing, bah humbug!
;-) Public news tickers aren't new, there's a national debt counter (in
Times Square?), a Nuclear Countdown Clock... But, art is "off topic," so on
with the DIY (... he said, narrowly avoiding an artistic debate).

You can use a PC to grab the data off the Internet and send out the
corresponding MIDI data. A MIDI/CV converter completes the job.

The trick is reading HTTP and writing MIDI, but it's *theoretically* easy.
Internet and MIDI functions are built into Microsoft's Software Development
Kits, for one. If I had the tools, I'd try it.

Now, you wanted that PC in a Modcan-compatible module, right...?
