Because slagging stuff off is fun.

Could someone recommend some good artists in the queer community?

I think if the number of steps approaches the level where you could treat the sequence as the amplitudes of a single cycle waveform, it opens up so many new and weird ways to mess with the sound. If my math is correct, a 2205 step sequencer should be enough to sculpt whatever single cycle waveform (because at 20Hz the waveform repeats 20 times a second, and 44100/20=2205).
Should just sit down and hack something together in Pure Data.
One of the earliest things I tried when writing my music software was giving myself the ability to "draw" an arbitrary waveform to use in an oscillator. The results were consistently bad, in uninteresting ways - most things I tried either sounded like a fuzzier sawtooth or a cheap electric organ. Things like subtractive synthesis and FM synthesis tend to alter the harmonic content of a waveform in specific ways that are pleasing to the ear, whereas IME one is unlikely to stumble upon anything good by manually modifying the waveform.

Anyone tried Yamaha's new HPH-MT8s?
Just splurged on a pair. First impression is good.

No, but those should be a good deal. I have the MT220 which was heavier and more expensive for similar specs.
Compared to the AKG K 240 MkII I had before the 220s were like having 10 years of wax buildup cleaned out of my ears. But they do get a little aggressive on the treble sometimes.
Thanks.

Those Dead Mall videos are both compelling and incredibly depressing.

The story's supposed to have happened in 2003 though. Doubt that Obama needed security detail back then.

Python can actually be good, because it's written in C.
[pedantry]You mean that the reference implementation is written in C - there are others.[/pedantry]. Perhaps relevant to this thread, there's PyPy, which reportedly runs a lot of code significantly faster than CPython. I haven't had much luck getting it working myself because last time I tried it didn't play nicely with tkinter, but it's probably worth a shot if you want to write non-GUI real-time audio code in Python.

Glad this was bumped, I bought a couple of Radiorama albums the other day and was hoping I'd get a chance to recommend them:

Hahahaha white rich people getting owned is the happiest thing.
yeah boo hoo for the privileged white hipsters who listened to Kendall Jenner (the Pepsi savior) and spent that much to think they were better than the rest of us.

Depends what kind of synths, I would imagine.

Personally I started composing algorithmically after realising that I enjoy programming much more than composing. I recommend it though - figuring out an algorithm that give good results feels great, it's like you've discovered one of the hidden rules of what makes something sound musical. And trying to come up with such rules is a great way to generate happy accidents too - even if an algorithm doesn't do what you intended it to, it might do something you would never have thought of. It's also fun to set up an program and just let it run for ages; kind of like listening to your own music except it's constantly evolving and staying interesting without any further intervention.
