G3 mac

I have an Oldworld mac G3 (yes the famous beige tower) sitting beside me, is there any good software (either using OS9 or I can stick Linux/NetBSD on it) that I can stick on it? Because otherrwise it will just get stuck with server duty and it is capapble of more than that.

ivy

cloud generator

lloopp

marco hack

sound hack

gleetchlab

old leafcutter john software

greg davis pluggos

macpod

all free, google to find.

player pro (old tracker)

MDA fx (vst bundle)

audacity (wave editor)

i got myself a g3 this week (paid 5 euro's for it), for the sole purpose of running..

AC TOOLBOX on it.

I'd like to hear what folks have done with that software. Got any links?

well here's a track i did last night using only the ACToolbox hooked up to waldorf's microwave synth and a sherman filterbank. ACToolbox just spat out midi data to the synth, controlling several parameters at once, based on iterations of (the attractor of) a roessler system, here it is:

very interesting example you have there- how did you come across this app? btw i envy you...you have a sherman filter bank.

hehe hij's leuk eh:) hier is nog een krakende rammeltrack, deze is wat vunziger, gemaakt zonder synths (shortwave radio only)

dnoyes: take a look at http://algorithmic.net .. it's like kvr-vst for generative software/techniques; a huge software database, plus also a shitload of articles about algorithmic composition, dating back to the 1950's..

topicstarter: i think maxmsp wasn't mentioned yet? you might have performance issues with synthesis stuff (msp) on your beige G3.. but hook up a midi interface, set up max, and you have yourself an excellent sequencer

first link is dead, it shouldve been

topicstarter may also enjoy: LiSa, which is a program for live sampling, a nice package for on the fly looping and mangling, totally geared towards live-applications. and also Junxion & Bigeye, programs to convert joystick/touchscreen/video data to MIDI and OSC, very sophisticated and well-thought-out stuff. see www.steim.org
