My first high-level language was Fortran, back in the days of punch cards, which reminds me of my first experience with computer music. At my first programming job, this guy wrote some code with loops in it that ran at different frequencies. He put an AM radio tuned between stations on top of the computer and ran the code. It played a song in different tones of AM static. For 1970, it was pretty cool.

My first “personal computer” was a TRS-80 Model 1, and making music that took advantage of the RFI it generated, picked up on AM radio, was definitely one of its applications.  :-)

Some people complain about certain prices today, but I remember that for about what 1GB of flash memory for the XF costs today, you could get only 16kB of RAM for the TRS-80 (and $300 was “real money").

this is so cool, many thanks for the hard work and donation of the software!

C++ as a grade. I love it! My fellow CS instructors at PCC are going to get a real kick out of that…

One of my fellow CS instructors pointed out that the ideal programming language for musicians might be C#, which you can play on your synth when you get tired of coding…

I found an additional minor error regarding Waveform numbering, in this case affecting Waveforms in FL2. Rather than getting into details here, I’ve sent a PM.

Fixes to the errors you’ve reported coming soon.

Mac version coming soon too, hopefully.

Version 1.04 is now released:
Categorizes and numbers waveforms correctly. GUI now has keyboard shortcuts for all controls, and indicates those shortcuts by underlining a character in the control’s name.

Download new version from first message in thread.
