It doesn't scare the hell out of me. In the end, such 'composers' will
either produce music that sounds good (unlikely, but possible), in which csae knowledge of music was never that important after all; or, more likely, they'll produce horrible noise and nobody will listen to it.

Just mechanical aids Posted Mar 14, 2010 21:54 UTC (Sun) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] I understood that they are just a mechanical aid for the less challenging and more tedious tasks of writing music. You have to know music to instruct the arpeggiator to output what you want. So, why not.
Linux Arpeggiators, Part 1 (Linux Journal) Posted Mar 15, 2010 22:24 UTC (Mon) by alvieboy (subscriber, #51617) [Link] " Fundamentally all humans who are not tone-deaf or otherwise medically deficient have some kind of ability with music: it's innate. Vast numbers of children tootle out extemporized tunes. "I have to disagree. Actually those who exhibit disabilities in some areas are extremely good at music and other opposed areas. For example, invisuals. I know a few, they have excellent musical abilities, with no exception. And they also play musical instruments. " I see no problem at all with making it easier for people to produce music without needing to learn as much first. "I don't either, as long as that really helps them understanding music and improving their knowledge. " Complaining about this smacks of elitism to me. "Sorry if I gave that impression. I'm just trying to understand the reason. Many friends of mine are able to play a musical instrument. None of them knows anything about music. Why ? They don't care. They know enough to play a little on their own, compose their own musics, always focusing on the instrument. However, musical knowledge (notation, instruments, so on...) gives you a wider range of artistic abilities. I can only compose for a few instruments, those I played myself. I wish I knew more, I wish I knew everything about instruments, notations, so on. I do not. I had music lessons. On public schools. Those helped me a lot. Here, in Portugal, public schools teach music, at least the very basic of it. Those impaired are often given even more teachings about the subject. I hate bad music (99% what comes out of any radio station unfortunately). I am a lousy performer, and a lousy composer. But, each new thing I learn about it, each new technique I use on the instrument, makes me feel happy. Álvaro
Linux Arpeggiators, Part 1 (Linux Journal) Posted Mar 16, 2010 10:13 UTC (Tue) by mpr22 (subscriber, #60784) [Link] I don't know what music radio is like in Portugal, but in the UK it mostly isn't so much bad as mediocre. If it was bad, it might have more merit.
