download an abstracty number

Download the sort of groovy ALS

Download a melodic Tangerine Dream style Generative ALS

I have more of this sort of stuff, it's music for when I dont feel like making music!

WOW! Angstrom, this is cool! Thanks for sharing!

P.S.: Without ssh terminals, how would I be able to pay for my gear and all the software updates?

I'm suprised they come down as text files. they should have .als on the end already

anyway - I hope you guys didn't miss the fourth in the series. I still like it the best

Download the >>>Angstrom Self Gen thingy number 4 <<<

wow, very nice!
Unfortunately on my pc i get dropouts (time for a new one)
for the while, i'm trying to reproduce the tangerine dream track.
But which ones are the return tracks?

Wow - crushes my MacBook Pro

Edit: actually I hover steady at 60-70% and then get a huge spike - 144%!!!

wow I'm really suprised by that!
my Laptop is about 18 months old now and it just sits on 41% occasionally venturing to 41%.
I thought the macbooks would be pretty similar to this thing in terms of performance - it's a PentiumM 2.0 (Dothan)

cool stuff!

can someone describe what they sound like on your machine. mine sounds kind of like a motor, is that the way it should sound?

what sort of machine do you have Angstrom - a couple of those nearly killed mine

the one I tried that worked was amazing though

I think it was number 4 - it had loads of chordy things made out of vinyl distortion and resonators

The machine I'm mainly using for these is my laptop - because I tend to do them in the garden when I take a break from work.

The CPU in the laptop is a Dothan version of the PentiumM , it's 2ghz, Intel would have us call it a 755. There's a gig and a half of memory in it. The motherboard and chassis is an Asus M6ne - as I bought it 18 months ago Asus don't even make them any more!

An intel based mac should match this for performance, PPC macs might suffer though.
I guess the BeatRepeaters use a bit of memory for the buffers, other than that - probably not much. Elsewhere Machinate tried the Tangerine one in L6 Alpha and got 13% CPU usage! he layered 3 versions of it and got 30%. I think we can say that the dual core component of L6 will be widely loved
