Last night I figured out how this synth handles audio and MIDI I/O. It's
a bit oddly designed, but I must say that some of its sounds are
amazing. It's not terribly difficult to program, it's essentially a
souped-up subtractive synthesis architecture, and since its patches are
saved as simple text files it's also fairly easy to copy & paste sounds
to more easily create what the synth calls a Multi.

Apparently the graphics do not respond to incoming messages in realtime,
but the sounds do. The modulation capabilities in Minicomputer are quite
effective, I had a lot fun last night using MIDI note-on and velocity
values to liven up some sounds.

IMO, a very cool synth. A little difficult to comprehend at first, but
well worth the effort.

Best,

dp
