Last night I figured out how this synth handles audio and MIDI I/O. It's 
a bit oddly designed, but I must say that some of its sounds are 
amazing. It's not terribly difficult to program, it's essentially a 
souped-up subtractive synthesis architecture, and since its patches are 
saved as simple text files it's also fairly easy to copy & paste sounds 
to more easily create what the synth calls a Multi.

Apparently the graphics do not respond to incoming messages in realtime, 
but the sounds do. The modulation capabilities in Minicomputer are quite 
effective, I had a lot fun last night using MIDI note-on and velocity 
values to liven up some  sounds.

IMO, a very cool synth. A little difficult to comprehend at first, but 
well worth the effort.

Best,
