[microsound] post-laptop era?

[isjtar]

interesting.personally i see many evolutions, from the mainstreaming of
Ableton Live as a sequencing instrument,  the broad acceptance of live
fx on acoustic instruments, the incorporation of homemade and factory
controllers. also large and small touch screens everywhere - which i
don't think is the great next evolutionary step.
anyway at my org we are looking at using embedded devices to make
computers specific to music.
like hardware, but more flexible
like a controller, but without the need for a computer
like a laptop, but not necessarily with screen, keyboard and mouse
i really think custom computers tailored to your idea of a musical
instrument can be quite powerful.

adern, with sinewave music you mean synthesis in general?
