if you've had college level linear algebra, probability, calc before, there's lots of good review/reference materials https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/1jeawf/mac... https

if you can borrow a laptop (and MIDI controller) that has reaper, ableton, garage band or Logic Pro X loaded, i bet you'd be amazed at how they make harmonic and rhythmic structures accessible to anybody that wants to play music. GB i

I've been pricing student oboes, you could do something decent for $1.5k (used grenadilla Yamaha). Also, oboists have been trialling synthetic cane, with promising results: http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard&

Hmm, yes, there's VST's, ribbon controllers, ableton Push and the samplers, arpeggiators and sequencers builtin to DAWs and many synths. And Max for Live is amazing. I have devoted thousands of hours voluntarily as an adult to gui

I've tried most of the non-brass instruments: alto clef, not that hard to transpose to anybody that's able to read a piano's grand staff. Tenor clef does require work, and reading, say a Bach chorale in SATB, oof. But violi

excellent, i'm willing to learn swift or obj-C for this, are they API-equal? (actually i don't know much about M4L, supercollider or those others, but i do have a bunch of HW synths: kurzweil, DSmith, emu, kawai etc

just curious, is there something missing from platforms/libs like csound, max for live, supercollider etc you were aiming for?

I had a friend in Santa Monica ask me a few years back if i wanted to get a burrito, so we get in her car, get on the 10, the 405, and another freeway towards downtown. After driving 40 minutes, i ask her, "are we getting close?"

Interesting. I think my smallest synth (Dave Smith mopho) has an emulation among its 384 patches, but i can't find it. _________________________ Those years, 1983-84 were golden years for (now) cheap hardware, Dave Smith demo'd

this is great for synth players. The DX7 is extensively covered but i'm sure people on later Yamaha AWM and other wavetable synths will find it directly applicable. (I only have access to SY35 iwth 2 FM operators The SOS Synth secret

I would love to have one of those, and i think poly aftertouch is pretty uncommon (I have an Maudio Axiom (channel aftertouch) and Yamaha SY35 with some kind of AT). People have told me Korg and Kurzweil had the best aftertouch of the vint

I was going to try something similar, something like a MIDIquest 'random parameter' generator running into a few analog/virtual analog synths (MS2k, SY35, mopho, whatever else i see on Craigslist). Probably the most straight

Excellent! Any other synths you could put in? I'm guessing a PPG/Waldorf or Prophet VS or DX7 would send the CPU to 140 deg. Celsius. BTW /r/edm liked it: http://www.reddit.com/r/edmproduction/

I think for those venues, the practical reason is that a battery of microphone stands would be visually intrusive, so they (esp classical venues) rely on mikes suspended from the ceiling or clip on condensor mikes like DPA's. Addition

this was kind of interesting, but possibly misguided. I think their goal is to somewhat increase response and projection while keeping the tonal character of the instruments. Otherwise, they could just put higher bridges and replace the P
