I don't do synthesis right now, I tried to generate sound with computer but I think it's not my feeling right now, I'm not convinced by the sound I make :) Also I don't want to purchase midi controllers fwheeling can do well with PC keyboard and I want to investigate more with this. Why not just making music with a live CD, go everywhere and plug your live cd into a friend computer and play :). Like a MC with a MD player. And I don't understand this phrase "You see, supercollider is about manipulating the graph in a music v style", what is music v style? Have you ever heard about french hip-hop band named TTC? You may want have look at their dj :) Thank you, David.
