Fuck, equipment. I have a korg N5 that I use as a midi comtroller and an
Akai s2000 which I use for everything else. My computer is an old Power
Computing mac clone from the early 90s. I run cubase on it but I can't do
much real time processing. All this talk about outboard gear and name
dropping makes me curious. I have been studing electronic music and
acoustics for quite a while now and the one major realization I had is
that a computer can do _everything_ for you (at least theoretically). The
only problem is the shitty physical interfaces, such as roman character
keyboards, mice, trackballs, tiny buttons. I think the dream setup for me
would be entirely software based with nothing but knobs, faders and midi
instruments atached to the computer. Currently I'm programing some stuff
in Csound (I'd upgrade to jMax but my machine is too slow). With a little
knoweldge in Csound and the possibility of jMax, I wonder why anyone buys
retail outboard gear at all.
regards,
Lee
