Always powerful exposure to new ideas. This session I was especially struck by the Deutsch effect. This noticed that we perceive music differently, largely based on the resonant note of our head! Or perhaps upon a geographical tonic. I thereafter thought it important that a playback system be able to transpose any broadcast, and this became an important feature of SeerMusic.
1989.04 Yamaha/DSD becomes Korg R&D. I leave. A lean remainder of year as officially dive into my consulting business. This included working with Korg to finish what became the Wavestation.
1989.01 – 04 . Worked with the erudite M3 Sweatt, who taught me Nisus. Opcode allowed me to buy my Mac IIx through them, and later a LaserWriter IIntx (which cost $4600!).
1989.01 At NAMM, exposed to the Hip programs Harmony Grid and HookUp. The latter allowed MIDI to control basic animation. The applications of this concept improved for a tightly synchronized environment became the subject of my U.S. Patent 5,286,908 applied for in 1991 April.
1989.01 – 03 Continued waveguide instrument research for Yamaha/DSD, culminating in “Marketing Modeling Syntheziers”. {Ironically, five years later we were to do just that via Seer Systems.}
