Hi there!  I've just joined the Csound mailing so I thought I'd
introduce myself.  I first really got into Csound when I was at York
University in 89/90 on the MSC Music Technology course with Richard
Orton, Tony Myatt et al.  I'm now lecturing at City College Manchester
on the HND/C Music Technology course where I use Csound in Computer
Music Systems and in Advanced Synthesis.  In fact, along with the new
Nord Modular, Csound forms the backbone of my synthesis teaching.  In
addition to my teaching work I compose and perform my own material.  I'm
particularly interested in using Csound to emulate/model instruments
such as the Korg Wavestation and the Yamaha DX7 - an old favourite, the
first synth I ever really learnt to programme.  That dates me!

I'm running an Apple Mac PPC 6400/200 with 80MB RAM.  I also use Opcode
Studio Vision Pro 4.01, Pro Tools 3.14 and Finale Allegro for the dots.
MIDI is handled by a Korg NS5R - a great little module!

At City College we mainly use PCs (apart from a couple of new G3s to run
Pro Tools).  Synths include JV1080 (of course), Kawai K5000, Nord
Modular and an old Korg Monopoly.

Best wishes to all out there.
