Re: New track, using Bitheadz' Phrazer

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

Hmmm, I played around with Phrazer demo a bit and it seemed straight 
forward.
Didn't seem to suit the way I make music though.  I also toyed with Live by
Ableton, and that seemed a bit better, though also not for me.

Speaking of thOnk, a week ago I decided to WAY upgrade my Mac based hard 
drive
recording system, and went with a MOTU Digital Performer 3 system.  If you 
buy
one of their audio interfaces they give you a competitive discount price 
for
Digital Performer.  I used the extra cash to get the Nautilus Bundle of DP3
plugins.  One of the included effects was a real time granular synthesis
module that INCREDIBLE.  Really fun and amazing.  Like thOnk, but in real
time.  Developed by the thOnk people, even.  I can see myself spending a 
LOT
of time with this effect, as it's almost an instrument in itself.  It got 
me
to thinking, is there any hardware box that does something like this?  
Stomp
thOnk?  The Space Station begins to touch on a similar sound, but not 
quite.
