Only one other Apple II so far?  I'm surprised. Mine
was an Apple II+, with a MIDI interface hooked to my
Yamaha KX88 and TX7.

As far as making music with computers: I made more
music using Dr. T's Keyboard Controlled Sequencer
(KCS) on that Apple, than I have on all the subsequent
sequencers I've used combined.  I still miss KCS....

What really got me hooked, though, was writing my
own music software.  I wrote drivers in GraForth
for the MIDI interface.  Pretty soon I'd written a
DX7 patch editor, and some weird algorithmic
composition software, and it's all been downhill
since.
