Re: Discreet Music a la cgs modules

All sounds fine to me, but:
if you want to use environment as a source of control, I think you
should use sensors to get that voltages and control whatever
generators, processors... the nature would be your 1/f generator
in that case. If the CVs you extract are interesting enough (and to
what you apply them) you may want to keep them as expressive
as they are instead of dissolve that data in to a random system...
Just my thoughts about it...
Keep inspired!
