Message-ID: <1183@ihuxl.UUCP> Date: Thu, 21-Jun-84 22:27:51 EDT Article-I.D.: ihuxl.1183 Posted: Thu Jun 21 22:27:51 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 23-Jun-84 02:43:33 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 26 Music doesn't have square waves? Well, music produced by *acoustic* instruments doesn't have square waves, but try throwing the output of a Moog (*) on a 'scope sometime! Yep, it can easily produce square waves. Yes, it gets band-limited by the speaker (if not the amp), but it's still *supposed* to be a square wave. So there! Threats: anyone claiming that Moogs cannot produce music will be forced to listen to a cut or two from a Keith Emerson/Nice album I have where he creates some sort of "tuned" distortion/noise and creates "music" out of it. Very different. Very interesting. Surprisingly listenable. Disclaimers: note that I haven't said anything for or against CDs. (*) Moog is probably a trademark or some-such. -- _____ /_____\ Ever try to autocross a Sopwith Camel? /_______\ |___| Snoopy ____|___|_____ ihnp4!ihuxl!seifert
