I'm not personally interested in coding the basic tools for making music. Max/MSP & Pure Data: Too much of a learning curve. The small community of users makes for a more difficult support network, with both of these I've had pretty basic issues that I ended up corresponding directly with the developers to attempt to solve, which might seem cool, but they've got better things to do and solving simple issues can take days. *note: I'm not complaining about the software mentioned below, all this stuff is incredible*Īudiomulch & Music SDP: So cool, I love these on paper but in practice they're a little clunky. Things I've tried and my problems with them. Lean-ish anyways, I should probably get a better laptop. I'd like something where I can use other softsynths, samplers, and effects easily within the main environment.

I'm more into something like building a generative patch and the performance is me tweaking around in that patch for as long as seems fit, as opposed to composing a linear song that can be repeated exactly. For me the big aha moment with hardware modular gear was the open architecture, the sort of anything can be routed to anything approach. I'm interested in something that is more of an instrument.

I'm not looking a full featured DAW that represents a conventional multitrack studio. Performative more so than compositional. Here are some key interests/features that I'm looking for.

Being able to dig deep on sound design and build rhythmic sound fields through modulation are the goals. I'd like to end up with a really flexible synth/sampler with an open patcher/modular style workflow that I can synch to my buddy's MPC (or that he can sych to me). I keep downloading demos and tinkering around but not settling down. For a variety of reasons I'm moving away from hardware but I haven't yet found a software platform that I feel is 'the one' and would love some advice. He plays an MPC feeding a handful of effects pedals, I've used a no-input style mixer setup with pedals and have been working in some hardware synths and a digitakt. I currently make experimental electronic music with a partner, we talk over broad concepts we want to explore, work on sounds, patches, sequences etc on our own then get together and jam and that's about it.
