Used to use it and rent/ rep it to studios in the bay area and train on it. Can't remember much at all:) (Sorry!) seem to remember there was a additive synthesis?pluck algorithm, midi file transfer, it was cool (though the pc was the bottleneck) at the time. and the files could be interchanged with digidesigns eprom burner called "burner" (which actually had an external eprom burner on a serial cable from the mac and was really useful for putting stuff on chips, even though on a lot of machines (like the drumtrax kick sound for instance (or was it the standard OB DX drum machine kick - unmodded - or both?)which only played the first 4K of the sound and muffled it to high heaven so it didn't matter what sound you put in ). The thing is you'd have to be running, or maybe???(if not complications) emulating the old operating systems and as i recall a small subset of interfaces? think i ran it through (and also rep'd and sold) old opcode midi
interfaces. This was on the original mac and some later incarnations still in the original mac housing.
think that was back int the days you ran the program on one disk and the files on another.
think "softsynth" and "softsyth LE" might have been a universal sythesis program they had at the time too that kind of came out of that, combining the syth features unto itself and either having synth programs as an intermediate step or maybe replacing them?
Sorry, it's gotten blurry over the years, hope that helps somehow.
Sincerely,

Hello all,
I wonder if anyone have used the Sound Designer with the P2000/2 and
what they think about the program? Is it easy to use and edit samples
with it? How does the program look like on a Mac? I would love to see
pictures of it in action.
Thanks,
Marko
