My first thought was “it’s Visual Lisp”. My second was that it reminded me of an old music tracker program called Buzz Tracker. It was a bitch to learn, but once you got a few concepts down, it was insanely powerful.
It was also pretty unstable.

- drivingmenuts 8y agoThe main thing I remember about Buzz was that every time there was an update, all the sound generators changed. If you were relying on producing a certain sound for a certain song, you didn't dare d/l any updates. Also, apparently the generators and effects left off some limiters when they were trying to emulate certain synths. You could easily produce something the original machine wasn't intended to. Personally, since I didn't know much about hardware synths, I didn't notice. A much more knowledgable roommate informed me and I just took his word for it. That was fun program to work with though.
