I've used Cycling 74's M software to control the modular, it'sa  great
combo. Haven't tried Koan yet, though I believe they have now got a Moc
version out.

I have a friend with a prophecy, I'll have to check out that patch.

Yeah, he does some great minimal stuff. Halloween was really creepy, and
done with with pretty limited gear.

That would've been to brilliant an idea for the producers of that film!
"From the Secret Laboratory" remains one of my fave Perry records. Talk
about one the music worlds mad scientists!

Hey, Paul, you should give Perry an MOTM endorsement! Now that Sun Ra's gone...

hello all,

here's a thought, has anyone used Koan Pro software with their modular..?
i got hold of it this weekend and did some great stuff with my MOTM, MC202 &
Yamaha VL1m
actually, when i say "i did" i mean i tweaked one of the demos and sat back
for ten minutes in awe

for those that aren't aware it's a kind of algorhythmic based organic
evolving sequencer sort of thing, you set a few basic rules and off it
toddles changing all kinds of midi parameters at will. it was released
around 1995 for PC, i think Eno got involved with it somewhere along the
line

anyway, here's my sci-fi soundtrack top ten in no particular order:

* bladerunner - couldn't have done it on anything other than a CS80
though could he..?
* forbidden planet - it sounds so over the top now, just before i sold
it, the forbidden planet patch on my Korg Prophecy was its only saving grace
* anything by john carpenter - fuck knows why...
* star wars (by bruce baxter's sonic all stars) sad horrible synthesiser
rendition of you know what (well i was only eight at the time) - 17 years
since my first introduction to a sampler and i've STILL not done anything
with it...
* DOCTOR WHO - obviously having spent the early 70s behind the sofa while
this was on - Dub Syndicate did a great cover of this with Dr Pablo
* run out of ideas, erm apart from not getting Lee Perry do the
soundtrack for Inspector Gadget was a travesty :-)

hello,
for those twisted enough to still have c64/c128`s, jack deckards "s.a.c." ( 
stochastic algorithm composer) is excellent.  for the amiga fan, "algorythms" 
is very good. both are now public domain as far as i know. i`d love to find a 
copy of "m" for the amiga. i don`t think they are currently producing one.
best,
dave v.
