SR0 Eternal Monolithic "Pandora's Box" Automatic Fractal Numeric Synthesizer and Radio Transmitter

YouTube via VironCybernet.
"Digital sonification of a fractal at millions of samples per second generates an ultrasonic and radio frequency melody that never ends and theoretically will eventually transmit any sound on any frequency from baseband audio to ultrasonic octaves and shortwaves. Discovered in 1981 by the author of this video, and further ongoing research into hundreds of similar simple algorithms were inspired by the millenium digital music copyright controversy. These algorithms can predictively generate by accessing vast intangible supersets of all possible sounds as an original string of binary or decimal data without storing them in any media. SR0 = "Space Radio Zero". Interesting question: What rights could I have to an invention that transmits a practically infinite set of all digital sounds? I assume that this can only be public domain."

ROLAND JUNO-60 DEMO

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"The Roland Juno-60 is a classic six voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with RAM memories for 56 sounds. The sound architecture is rather basic, but it has an excellent sound and was used by many professionals like Eurythmics, Howard Jones, the Madonna producers, Paul Van Dyk and many more... it has the DCB interface - the predecessor of MIDI. With a DCB to MIDI interface it is very easy to integrate the instrument in a midi setup.

To my ears the JUNO-60 sounds far better than the very similar JUNO-106 (I had both). It has snappier envelopes and a fater chorus. However, sound is a matter of taste..."

MIDI Game of Life

"The MIDI Game of Life sequencer is made in the JAVA visual arts IDE and library Processing. It runs a loop of varying lengths selected by the user through the game of life algorithm. Each cell of the grid represents a pitch. In the current implementation, like colors are the same pitch - cells' octave can be scaled along the y axis. This is well suited for generating drum sequences or melodic material on the fly. The sequencer runs live and can be played as an instrument by drawing new cells while the game is running.

MIDI Game of Life is based on the original code by Ruin Wesen and makes use of their RWmidi JAVA/Processing library."
