<< What did he write? I'd like to see it. >>



he may still have the sources to the programs, sadly i don`t any longer. but
he had written a 4 channel delay oriented sequencer called "relayer" and a
new operating enviroment ( can you call it that when it runs on a micro with
1 k of ram ? :^) ) called polykybd that tied together a bunch a stuff and
made it mode switchable from the keypad. there was more but a) hopefully you
get the idea and b) i`ve forgotten a bunch of stuff about it over the years.
still, it was all neat stuff.
re: amiga`s - well, cbm might have died but the very active amiga community
keeps the flame alive. i wouldn`t part with mine even though they are
"obsolete".
re: algomodule -- something that did cv`s and gate`s in an algorithmic
fashion would be cool. at the moment, i use random voltage generators ( 3 in
my current modular ) for the creation of "dream machines" for uncorrelated
cv changes but a good source of regular to random gates would be very useful
to me. diddling around with lfo`s, sequencers, s/h and switching modules to
create a source of these can be a bit tedious ( although sometimes neat
things fall out through serendipity ( a force never to be overlooked ! ) )
and something more "focused" would be useful. whether it would be useful to
many others though is an open question. given my esthetic, i`m frequently
more interested in the process than the tune.
my midi to cv converter produces one "pitch" cv and one "velocity
(secondary)" cv and i have used this being driven by the algorythms program
on the amiga also.
best,
dave
