When I was seven, my parents bought a Yamaha home keyboard called PS-55, and I guess it started from there. Two year's later, in 1983, I managed to get my hands on a Korg Poly 800. After that came the TX81z and eventually my first workstation, the Ensoniq SQ1. I started using a computer in earnest maybe two years ago, but even so only for additional audio sequencing (in Live), audio mangling and mastering.

I have a long story about how I got into electronic music, but I wont go into detail.

I got into it at about 11 or 12, maybe 13. I started with some small music making programs then really wanted something better. So I got a midi controller and Reason and have been expanding my setup ever since.

it must have been around 1994 that i used my first midi sequencer on an old Mac LC2.. i also started listening to 4-channel mods on that computer..

we got our first real PC is 1997 and i get really into listening to MODs and Rebirth songs - i started working on rebirth tracks and then reason - then i moved eventually to cubase around 2000..

so - 10 or 12 years of steady PC work for me...

It's funny, this latest Audio Mulch release is a good milestone for how things have come. I still remember the day when the whole VSTi concept was first introduced!

Really? I'm in Austin too... Maybe the "Hyde Park" forum isn't just a weird coincidence after all.

I could have sworn I'd answered this thread but it must have been another and I was wrong anyway. Here's from type in magazine music to PC audio recording.

1982 - Apple ][+ Magazine type in music
1985 - C64 - Music Construction + Sequential C64 Synth/sequencer w/kbd
1985 - Color Computer w/Symphony Card 1st real programmable multi-track
1987 - Amiga 500 Midi + Sampler DStudio
1990 - Amiga 3000 Midi+AD516 Dr. Ts, MusicX / Emplant-Mac Cubase
1992 - Mac SE Midi Cubase/Logic
1995 - 266Mhz Toshiba Lap Midi Cubase
1997 - 500Mhz Tower Audio+Midi Logic AudioWerks card

Like tomg, I could have sworn I answered years ago...

There was some crazy program on the ZX81 for using the cassette interface as a synth -- well, it was emitting audio already and you could control the hardware directly... Not exactly "real time" though.

Then the BBC Micro had some excellent music software, including MIDI support -- unfortunately, I couldn't get the damn company to give me a beta version of the hardware and it was well out of my price range at the time (I'm not dedicated enough to starve).

I got a little wayward, distracted by Unix for several years after that... but eventually got TiMidity++ up and running. In fact, that's what brought me back from unix -- I heard of SFZ...

So, err... yes, quite some time. And what have I got to show for it? Hmm...

...with an amiga 1000 in 1985.

..but my REAL entry in electronic music was 1983 when programming a tr-808

the 808, an ms-10, a digital delay, a tascam 8-track, a poly800, that was my music making gear at the time.. and still it would be workable today, except for the analog 8-track I never missed with today's daw

When did you begin making computer music?
