BASIC CONNECTIONS

NOTE - the use of the Osbourne 1™ for the purposes of illustrating a personal computer in this diagram does not suggest that an
Osbourne 1™ will work in this instance. The fact is, the Osbourne 1™ doesn't even have a USB port on it, nor do we know of a
currently produced or functional serial to USB adaptation technique. The Osbourne 1™ was used in this illustration because it looks
cool, it fit into the graphic nicely, and also perhaps to subconsciously introduce the idea that perhaps a computer is less of an
inspirational musical instrument in the end than we might have originally hoped it would be. The idea of computers and music was
once a thrilling concept - what sequencer isn't a computer of sorts, right? And yet as the world funnels down into tiny screens, and
distraction it seems that our focus might be better placed into a more diverse and authentically inspirational tools which give back in
a deeper and broader way.
