Hello !! Once upon a time, I learned "Max/MSP"( http://www.cycling74.com/products/
maxmsp). It is a graphical environment-software for music, audio, and multimedia on
Macintosh and Windows PC. "Max/MSP" is the virtual instrument, meanwhile the
Modular Synthesizer like an "A-100" is the real instrument. So it might apparently fall
into a category mistake between "A-100" and "HID device", although the "HID device" is a
more convenient hybrid of analogue and digital. Now is it true music can be really
converted into the sampling information in the binary system Sound comes from not
the binary system in the programming but the cosmic oscillators in the space. Any way,
it's rather poor to record audio by "Max/MSP" as compared with "Pro Tools" (http://
www.digidesign.com/intl_selector.cfm) by Digi Design. When I encountered "A-100" by
Doepfer, it suddenly occurred I should once leave DAW like a "Pro Tools" on Mac. I shall
soon apply "FileMaker Pro" ( http://www.filemaker.com/) to the database management
for a large number of my personal patchings and sound files of "A-100" on Mac. I think
"A-100" is actually independent of any digital media. Here is an attractive "A-100" by
Doepfer from Germany. ciao !!
