I was talking to tob, an analog synth purist. Well, my
ancient ('retro') and cheap, semi-functional boxens aren't
at risk of transmogriphying into hard electronics or
anything else in violation of the third law.
Years ago I met an analog systems researcher. He would
discover stuff conventional highly syncronous digital models
couldn't find by putting together medleys of unclocked
electronics and mechanical devices. That's the vibe I was
getting from tob.
Wishes, fishes. What I've got is a handful of digital bytes
and a few compilers. Before building zainy physical systems
that researcher would assemble systems of fake analog
digital components in toy models.
I'm already doing that a little, in that I am starting async
threads of audio and then capturing from a system sound
monitor device.
Perhaps I can evoke my inner tob digital simulacrum by
feeding my system sound monitor capture back into my async
processes*.
*For historical reasons, ECL threads are called processes.
ldbeth refered me at common lisp music, a fully featured
synth package with several complete instruments, and a
synthetic classical piano bit. I did this (sans cl music)
years ago too, though feeding Mozart to recorded harmonica
notes.
Maybe I can wed this to a pseudo-analog autonymous dynamic
feedback control system. I guess I know enough to start to
start. Really wish I had talked more about my friend Hal's
research with him instead of just Prisoner fandom.
