Hey there,
For the last few days, I had been thinking about this software JMJ used on his Atari.
The use he made of it was to generate random piano notes on Waiting For Cousteau track.
This software used an algorythm, I don't remember its name, and I don't remember the name of the software either, do you have any ideas of the exact name ?
Best & thanks,
Nico

The Atari ST, had two important MIDI Sequencing softwares: Cubase and Logic.
If none of both are, I really don't know!

Well you Liked it before so why would the way it was conceived make you like it any less???
Its a bit like saying you Liked a Painting but then found out the artist got someone else to colour the picture in?
he used a computer generated program to create Random Notes,its still a unique composition,and dare say that if he used it again it wouldn't create the same exact series of notes,that to me makes it all the more enjoyable as a composition,I listen to this track everyday.
One of the most exciting moods of this track is the Build up to a concert,it was almost as if he tailored this track for that Purpose.Pure Genius,computer generated or not.

Couldn't have said it any better.
I love this track and when I found out how it was made, nothing changed my opinion about it...

Perhaps that was an early version of "Partner In Crime"?

It was C-LAB NOTATOR that Jarre used on Waiting for Cousteau.
