April 29, 2002

I'm on extended leave from Toronto at the moment, so I'm only working with my two laptops and software. No MIDI keyboard, no USB I/O box, no MIDI interface, no MD, no DAT. I'm currently focusing on using Csound and related tools along with Logic, jMax, and Pd. Reason isn't getting a lot of use lately. I don't note it above, but I'm using Pd with GEM, which you can find at http://www.danks.org/mark/GEM/.
