hello all
i just got around to do
_))))            ///////////////// (and that would be hello from thomas the
cat)
i just got around to downloading Tangent, unfortunately, as i also found
with Koan, i haven't the faintest idea what i'm doing. Koan was more
instantaneous, while Tangent kind of lurks then suddenly blurts a pile of
notes at you - this was with the MOTM & MC202 hooked up. i routed Tangent
through the GM module on my soundcard (as a last resort) - there's some
pretty good stuff going on - however it seemed so easy to sound like a
teenage classical muso - so i set all the controls to random, and then was
forced to give up
i think both programs have a great deal of potential for MOTM users, but
they take an awfull lot of setting up to work with monophonic instruments
anyone else had a go with either of these programs..?
cheers

terry,
thanks for the url, i`ll most certainly have to take a look even if my pc 
lacks a midi interface. one day, i`ll get a more modern computer and will be 
able to put some of this stuff to good use !
have you seen :

I used to use a program called "Sound Globs" ages ago. It was a DOS program
that addressed the MPU-401 (or compatible) directly, so I doubt it would
behave well under Windows, otherwise I'd drag it out and try it again.

The key to using these kinds of programs is lots of editing. I did some neat
pieces with Globs, but you kind of have to tinker with it for a long time to
get the right feel, then record an hour of MIDI data, then use your
sequencer to edit the hell out of it.
