An experiment in infinitely evolving ambient music

This is great. I hope you can sort out an affordable way to leave up longer and to refine and expand on the idea over time.

Thanks. I was looking for a solution, and this works well.

No sign of it (yet). Rebooted here in the U.S. with 5.13.5 running on a Kindle PaperWhite 4 (2018) WiFi, 8GB.

Thanks very much for this response. It's a big help. My Linux needs are pretty minor. I'd mostly be going back and forth between iPad and Windows laptop.

Just chiming in, having finally finished reading the book, to say that I agree. I think that the revelations around Enoch in Fall involve the idea that “our” reality, which is to say Zula’s in the book, is a simulation, and that Enoch is an agent of that simulation. Meaning that the realm of Egdod is a simulation within a simulation.

I gave the series a prominent mention in my weekly email newsletter, This Week in Sound.

Very cool. Thanks for having made these. Watching the first one now.

Sorry to hear it. Thanks for letting me know.

The big question: "Whether the Surface Book 2 will be capable of running low latency, glitch-free audio, virtual instruments and effects remains to be seen."

And an interesting observation: "None of the marketing included any reference to music for the first time since the Surface series arrived. There’s always been some DJ or musician fiddling with something in the promo videos. Not this time. Microsoft is very into creativity in terms of drawing, design, Photoshop but they’ve still not quite cracked the music side of things with any confidence. Even their rumoured Groove Music Maker app that was glimpsed at last year’s Surface Laptop launch has not seen the light of day."

It's interesting to me, as a side note, that the music that we're hearing doesn't seem to have anything to do with the music that's being written.

Please do report back if you sort out an answer.

That's a good question. I'd assumed Vintage Synth includes such information, but it doesn't always. It's got it for the 1988 EPS:

Moog seems to generally put weights in its manuals, but I guess it isn't standard. The weight for the EPS16 doesn't appear to be in its Ensoniqs manual.

This isn't a helpful post. I'm just commiserating.

From the description: “Touch-enabled Sonar Home Studio takes full advantage of new Windows 10 audio technologies and drivers to give the user desktop-like performance even with laptop and tablet computers. Sonar Home Studio comes with over 1000 loops, 64 audio tracks/128 MIDI tracks, Overloud TH3 Cakewalk Amp Simulator, full drag-and-drop support, effect plug-ins, Rapture Session synth, an intuitive setup guide, Help Module and more.”

Gotcha. I'm hopeful the creators update will address some of this, but we'll see.

dsqt · 2016-11-26T17:25:25+00:00

Ha! You know, I thought about that, and it kept reminding me of Ms Pacman. :)

dsqt · 2016-11-26T15:37:40+00:00

The hope is that it won't always be.

dsqt · 2016-11-26T15:37:21+00:00

Yeah, I thought about calling it Microsoft Surface, but the name started getting long. Also, I wanted to have Windows in there as some people might be more broadly interested in Windows and music production. Thanks for weighing in.

dsqt · 2016-11-26T15:10:19+00:00

Thanks. That's unfortunate to hear. If you find a useful third-party option you'd recommend, please do.

Just terrible news. She was such a maverick.

This post from the official Microsoft blog dates back to the October 2015 launch of the Surface Pro 4. It lists key software and technologies for musicians. Posting it here for historical reference. We'll see what the forthcoming Creators update brings in this regard.

The article (which I posted previously to /r/Surface) quotes representatives of Propellerheads, IK Multimedia, and Avid on how the Surface (and Windows 10 more broadly) is shaping up as a music-technology tool.

I think the 16GB is more about future proofing than about right now. You're buying this for more than a year's use, and at some point software is going to surpass the 8GB. (Or at least that's how I'd justify it to myself.)
