Shannon's Journal

[Shannon]

It's going to differ in whatever ways it does. Right now I have had to stop working on it and work on the custom programs, so it's no longer "in RAM" so to speak, for me to comment on. I wasn't finished making the base updates to the scripts when I stopped, though. Base updates are those techniques I have learned, created or invented since the last time the script was compiled as an audio program. The base updates are not the improvements that will be added later. I have a lot of ideas, but what gets included will depend on how each inclusion affects the whole system. It's a very delicately balanced system, and the whole thing has to balance out to zero again at the end, so it takes quite a bit of careful contemplation and figuring. I wish it was one of those things I could build in a week or less, but it's not.

The new one, however, will be the most major single update ever. 2010 to 2011 is going to be about as big a change as 2008 to 2010 was. Maybe even bigger. Depending on what I can fit into six stages without exceeding 80 minutes per stage. If I can't fit everything in 60 minutes per stage, and I overflow 80 minutes per stage, I'll either have to chop some stuff or add another stage or two.
