a minimalist music computer, where digital polysyntheticism meets touch sensitive relabi.

i think perfection is balance in dynamics. for electronic musical instruments, it's of digital & analogue, generative & control, deterministic & improvisational, scarcity & redundancy... and freedom to travel between them by preference and coincidence.
我认为完美是动态中的平衡。对于电子乐器来说，是数字与模拟、生成与控制、确定与即兴、缺乏与冗余…和在其中有意与无意的行走。

updated - touch replaced by more "patch compose", as my virtuosoship is dedicated to a future instrument.
升级了——触摸替代为更多 “连线作曲”，因为我的演奏会专注于未来的一个乐器。
I escape from "endless possibilities", aiming for complexity I can handle, to avoid machines taking over expressions.
我逃离 “无穷的可能性”，力求自己能掌控的复杂程度，防止机器统治表达。
essentially, building a custom system is to set up workflow by reducing complexity.
组装客制化系统的核心目的，是通过降低复杂性而建立流程。
balance : don't want more, yet won't settle for less.
平衡 ：不需要更多，也不能更少。
too many wires so the faceplate won't close.
when I powered this unit up, I found complex noise at TR inputs of teletype coming from floating opamp inputs.
they travel through TR threshold so scripts may trigger randomly, even touching faceplate affects it.
a bit daunting at first, soon replaced by curiosity of exploring unusual expresssions.
里面线太多，合不上面板了。
接电之后我发现在 teletype 的 TR 输入端有复杂的噪音信号，它们来自浮空的运放输入。
这些信号在输入的阈值上下浮动，所以不同的脚本被随机地触发。触摸模块面板竟然会影响这些动作。
一开始感觉有些可怕，不过很快被其中可挖掘的不寻常表现力吸引了。
btw, it's ceremonious to have designs of peter, gil, brian, oliver in a small box.
在同一个小盒中放入这四个人的作品有种仪式感。
