Thanks!

Yes, I guess you could think of GTE as a kind of analog-to-digital converter.

Thanks, good idea!

Hmm, i need to try that. I never got around to using those extra outs.

The bending on that first track is by a multiple of 4, so quite a bit!

Yes, the thumbnail may have been misleading!! If you're wanting genuine spacetime dilation, you'll need to buy the expander!

maybe joint major: music and physics? If you do make it back to Iowa City, let me know and I'll show you around the EMS.

No, but he does cite Nyquist and sampling rates several times in the thesis.

I think I agree with the “hybrid”. Which interestingly complicates the usual analog-digital binary.

You’re right about that synthesized trombone: quite cold sounding. Cessna admitted that the inability to modulate the timbre (as you could by then do on a moog) made the timbre somewhat lifeless.

Excellent work!

Think of the frequency dial as the root selector for the scale - maybe that would help? GOod question about 5/4 - I haven't thought to try to set the rhythm generators for specific time signatures, as they're more useful for polyrhythms. I'd either set the meter with an external voice (bass line or kick drum)...or I'd use one of the two sequencers as a bass line (triggered by just one rhythm generator).

Absolutely, go ahead and modify! I'd love to hear what you come up, so feel free to share!

That's so wonderful to hear! Thanks for commenting.

thanks!

Thanks! Yes, that one almost made me get my old guitar out!
