Hello.
The already mentioned page
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/simulink/rn/simulink14_6-1.html
says that Mathworks disabled the realtime control from Simulink.
That is, it looks like one cannot build a realtime synth
with Simulink. Could anyone confirm how the controls worked
earlier and now?
Has anyone found prior art for music software? I'm sure J.O. Smith's
writing in CMJ does not help "as is". And even then, the Labview/Reaktor
style front panel building prior art must be found. Some other
GUI system won't help.
While I don't know exact details of the patent, I think I have
found a way to circumvent the patent. I tried to contact Mathworks
but they don't have a contact method for non-customers. They would
have expertise and interest to examine what I have found.
