The way I write music is strange. A part of computer music is instrument building. Almost all software requires some setup. I use Reaktor 5 and I create a unique instrument for each of my songs.

I used to like playing with with cheap keyboards. These ensembles are meant to play like an old casio. You change the chords with one hand. Instead of doing melodies I create the music generatively from simple sequences, so your other hand is busy changing the parameters of the generation, levels, part mutes, tempo and so on.

These two ensembles I decided to share because:
-They are relatively easy to understand.
-They make noise right away.
-I deleted my other ensembles and can't find my backup dvd.

They can be used with just the computer keyboard, but a midi keyboard is better. Even better is an Oxygen 49 with each controller assigned to the same channel number as name number (fader 1 -> cc 1). This is the keyboard I've been using.

Check the A/B GUI Panels on the summer ensemble, they're different.

They're exceptionally buggy, but should be stable. Some knobs and buttons won't do exactly what you would expect.

Let me know if you've got any questions.
