john,
actually, a pretty simple setup -
1) a commodore 64 with a midi interface running a program called "stochastic
algorithm composer" ( sac), written by a friend of mine, jack deckard and at
one time distributed by dr.t`s.
2) 2 amiga`s ( an a2000 and an a500 ) with midi interfaces running a program
called "algorhythms" ( i believe it is now public domain, can`t recall the
authors name off hand )
these allow me to set various starting conditions and then they go. i record
output, keep what i like and keep repeating the process. my setup is very
small, driven devices are a casio cz101, a "miracle" keyboard and my new
d∗∗∗∗∗∗ modular.
i have another amiga a2000 that i used for simple 8 bit sampling and
noise/sound creation using its built-in sound capabilities ( which are
actually very good for such "old" technology). there is a 4th amiga ( an
a2000 ) that i`m slowly upgrading to eventually put on-line to be able to
more readily tap the huge amount of amiga software available over the net.
recording is done ( don`t laugh !!!! ) on a 4 track fostex cassette machine.
as i said, my setup is very simple!!! :^)
main plans are to add modules from everywhere to grow the synthesizer and
keep it interesting and fun. building on a solid foundation makes that
relatively easy. motm triple filter is something i want to try to add soon.
best,
dave
