Re: [microsound] strange

If you look on page 918 of the computer music tutorial
and check figure 20.1. Peter Samson next to the
Systems Concepts Digital Synthesizer. That mother is
bigger and than refrigerator! Capable of creating 256
independent sound sources in real-time, controlled by
mainframe, yikes! And I'm not talking about Peter.

I'm not sure if it was ever used in a
concert/performance setting, or what the interface was
via main frame, but the realtime aspect suggest that
this may have been possible. 

Perhaps someone the list knows more about this machine
or Peter Samson's work?

 I'd be curious to hear what it people have made with
it.
