I have both WinXp and Linux on my machine, but for music, I use the Win machine almost exclusively these days, not so much out of choice but for lack of programs in Linux that'll do the job without having to do much programming myself.<BR/><BR/>For works with conventional scores, I compose directly in my notation programs - with Finale, Turandot, or Harmony Assistant. Finale and HA allow me to do microtonal notation fairly well. HA can do the playback directly via scripts, while in Finale I make a non-standard key signature and then get a quick and dirty microtonal playback via InTun. If I need to generate a higher quality recording of the score, I render it with either WAVMaker or TiMidity++.<BR/><BR/>Also, I have been playing with PD for live interactive work and installations and have used CSound for doing small tuning demos. I'm still looking for something to replace the Rayna synth, Atari ST, and Formula for installations.Daniel Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093101325234464791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9617011.post-1140305825132866292006-02-19T00:37:00.000+01:002006-02-19T00:37:00.000+01:00"Just" curious (Ha): What type of computer system ..."Just" curious (Ha): What type of computer system and software do you work with? I used to be a Synclavier owner and programmer, and I've looked for years for something to replace it, but nothing I've come across really excites me the way the Sync did. I'd like something that would allow me to use my additive and FM programming chops, specify tunings, and that would still allow for note entry via standard notation when I want to do that.Hucbaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111826753868595100noreply@blogger.com
