Interview link[edit]

I came across this interview with Lagin from 2001, its long and loaded with some good info, including his recent life. If anyone ever gets the urge to expand this article then this interview would be a terrific source, I am not personally too inspired to, so leaving it here for someone who might, here is the link: [1] Russeasby 19:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good find, thanks. For now I've added it to the article as a footnote. — Mudwater 01:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion[edit]

I would edit the page myself, but prefer not to do what I don't know how to. So I make this observation, in hopes someone can incorporate it.

I personally worked with Ned on this project, building and integrating his system, though I gather personal experience does not represent a verifiable source.

Ned used a custom built E-Mu Systems synthesizer and experimental polyphonic keyboard software, which was programmed (by me) on the Interdata 7/16 mini computer. I do not recall any Buchla gear in his rig, though I am not certain there was none. In either case, the phrase "the Buchla digital-polyphonic synthesizer" is incorrect and should read "E-Mu Systems polyphonic synthesizer".

A reference on the above: http://www.o-art.org/history/LongDur/Dead/Lagin/Ned_Lagin.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mu

Additionally, the digital to analog converters were used to generate control signals for analog synthesis, technically not for "digital signal processing"

I hope this helps, Scott Wedge

Dswedge, thanks for the suggestion. I, or someone else, might update the article based on what you've said. However, I'd encourage you to do it yourself. You'll find that's the best way to get anything done around here. You've already created a user account and started a discussion page section, and you're aware that personal experience does not constitute a verifiable source, so you're more than qualified enough to edit an article. My advice is to concentrate on the wording (and, for optional extra credit, briefly describe your change in the edit summary box that will appear below the main editing area). Include the reference(s) and link(s) in the text of the article. If you don't get the formatting right, don't worry about that part, just do it anyway, and someone will come along later and fix the formatting. — Mudwater^(Talk) 20:54, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Pioneer" citation[edit]

I know that there was an article published in Computerworld around 1978 that confirms the sentence in the second paragraph where it says, "citation needed". I have no idea where this publication might be archived. Prescottbush (talk) 04:08, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Modern[edit]

There appears to be an edit revert war on the linking of Modern. If you want to link to Modern, you will have to figure out which page to link to, since Modern is a disambiguation page. Jwoodward48wiki (talk) 13:56, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Even Modern music is a disambiguation page. Jwoodward48wiki (talk) 13:57, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
