> Grant, is that you trolling... :-) > Guilty as charged. However the reviewer raises an interesting point. To use an analogy of visual painting. Electronic music equipment designers have created a box of paints so enormous that you can't lift the lid anymore. Or, if you can get the lid off, the box is big enough to get lost inside. The point I see him making is that instrument design has progress far faster than the capacity to apply it musically. This is what I mean about "designs for Martians". I know mathematically that certain designs have application for music generation. But we haven't begun to understand how to apply the simplest ADSR from the 60's, much less advanced designs like a MARF. The designers of the 60's were designing for a future that has not occured yet, and I am designing for a future that may never occur at all.
