I'm 69. When the MIDI spec was first published in the late 70's, I built an interface - it was simple and cheap, put it in an Apple II slot, and wrote a little loop sequencer in FORTH. Changing pitch/velocity/duration was done with a hex editor. Since I was only making little 2 and 4-bar bass and drum loops and stringing them together (plus ça change) it wasn't too hard. With my multi-timbral Yamaha FB-01 synth module, I had a band. We've been boogieing ever since, although there's been a big turnover in personnel.
Now I'm doing it on an iPad, thanks to apps like Audiobus and iFretless. And thanks to this forum, which showed me there are still pockets of civility on the internet.
Happy Birthday Will! I might be young(er) but I came from a whippin' household....you better start running if Dad starts unbuckling his belt! Hahaha
50 in November...
@JMSexton Yeah, that used to strike fear in my heart as a kid! Hehehe.... Times have changed. Child Protection Services gets involved with things like that... I have mixed feelings about that, because kids these days get away with too much, and yet some things are a little too harsh for a kid...but I digress......
Yea it's a tough balance because while I don't necessarily believe a belt is necessary in this day, I do believe children need stern discipline and after repeated offense I won't hesitate to spank but I've caught myself a few times in public start to say "Do it again and I'm going to spa......just knock it off!" because it's sure to raise a few eyebrows. I don't understand it, why it's changed so much, all you have to do is look at the world today and the things that go on to know that something has changed and not for the better. Hopefully not starting a giant discussion on child discipline standards and what's right and wrong here but I too digress! : )
My Mom says if I post how old I am online, she'll SMACK me in the head again!!! Mom packs a plastic baseball bat for that very purpose and has been Smacking me with it since about 4 years old (1965)...
50 and never got smacked once, learnt to run fast when I was very young ;-)
I programmed child protective service number in my kids cell, just in case they want to go live with strangers.
...wooden spoon...with holes so it cuts through the air with less resistance hahaha
Wow, thanks everyone for your replies.
I'm finding it pretty bizarre that my guess was so close to reality... from this sample it looks like the mean age is somewhere around 45 - 50? I would guess that is an unusual demographic for a tech-oriented online community.
I do think that this may contribute the notable amount of civility shown here... I mean really none of us has anything to prove. We can focus on learning new tools, enjoying the music making process and posting our results without eveyone constantly trying to one-up each other.
I have to say, that's pretty refreshing.
But for the record I'm the one who said Shazbot and I'm only 28 ;-)
@funjunkie27 -- I'm 47. Not sure what happened to the post; I must have triggered some sort of markdown thing. There was an assembly language example in Byte magazine that my friend and I typed in, that let us use the Apple II as a sampler. A bit like the machine in the video below, except that we only had cassette tape storage, not floppies. Good fun, and it's sort of like I've never had to grow up.
In the '60s we listened to the Temptations sing, "I can build a castle from a single grain of sand," and thought hmm.. silicon let's learn to program. While current generations have far greater access to technology and almost universal adoption us grey beards did it to explore where no man had gone before. Not because of peer pressure.
For the pure fun and delight of it. Enough so it became my career by accident.
Dr T: still have it on my shelf, in fact. Ran it on an IBM XT (a real one not a clone). And that one written in LISP by a guy who lived in Hawaii, but I forget its name. Also wrote my own in FORTH which I hacked to be multi-tasking and added a window manager, used it for scripting bulk MIDI dumps.
I m 25.... Quite an interesting topic....haha....
53 here. I started on an Amiga 500 with Music X and after the fall went to Cakewalk on the PC. The Ipad is in ways ahead of the past but also behind the curve with regards to MIDI. Hopefully it will get worked out.
Haha @syrupcore too true! Happy Birthday to yourself and @JMSexton.
I hit 40 back in August.
Ahhh, it makes me happy having people of all ages contributing. It makes sense now that this is such a respectful and helpful group of users.
I'm 36.
Happy Birthday from my time zone @JMSexton and @syrupcore!
Thanks everyone I honestly didn't realize I was one of the youngest here but it is awesome to see the respect and courtesy shown around here though were all different ages and from different parts of the world. No matter the question, idea, or thought everyone treats each other with dignity, which is a hard thing to find on the internet, especially in forums!
Agreed! Well said @JMSexton! :-)
Two years,
to the day,
after JFK was assassinated,
I first opened my eyes...and ears...
58 here. @Audiojunkie, I was 43 when my son was born. Waiting for the right time is the right thing to do. I still have my Korg Poly800. Played synth bass on that bad boy in the early 80's. Owned an Arp mono synth that I once regretted selling.
I remember everyone hiding when it came time to put the B3 and the Leslie back in the truck. Playing live on the road was a joy. Moving gear was not. This stuff is almost too good to be true. I'm surprised by the demographic. Keep the stories coming. Great stuff.
Happy birthday Jarrett and syrupcore...apparently the most popular day to be born..something to do with new year I guess..
I didn't know this until last year Doug, but apparently October 5th is the most popular birth date for exactly that reason....New Years babies. Someone texted me last year joking saying I know when you were conceived, then said that on the radio they said this is most popular and because of New Years
44 here.
I'm really surprised to notice there are lots of "older" people into iOS music. That's not usual around here at all. Most iOS musicians I know are much younger than myself, and a lot at my age don't even know what an iPad can do in terms of music today.
I began studying classic piano in 1975, and jumped into electronic music and synthesizers in 1979 when I first heard the soundtrack for Clockwork Orange by Walter Carlos. At the time I didn't know what instrument was generating all those wonderful sounds, but I immediately fell in love with them.
Actually I got my fist synth in 1986, a Casio CZ-101
30 here. I find the demographics of this forum really interesting, but it also explains a lot, as I find people are a lot more civil and generally nice to each other on this forum. Now it makes sense!
I wonder if the tumblr and twitter have a 'younger' following?
What's twitter or tumblr?
... i also heard there's something called facebook... tryed to use it but.... too old 
Im 41 years old , born in South America and live for almost 30 years in Sweden.
My first teacher told me I was very musical.
We were very poor, we did´nt even have a real floor in the house. My mother used to send me to pick up trash so we could eat. I had a very abusive alcoholic father. So I had to work a lot, but the music was always there.
When I was 15 years old we had to leave the country and I lost it all. The military killed a lot of people in my country and among them my uncle. Deathpatrols were after my father and the hole family so we had to hide like rats not to be killed.
When we came to Sweden it was only to start all over again. Learn a new language, a new culture.
There have been som rough years trying to find myself in all the chaos of my life.
In 2011 we got an iPad and a new world opened for me. Now I could relax and express emotions I have deep inside through music.
I know nothing about musictheory but I have learned thorugh looking at thousands of videos on youtube and reading alot of stuff. I always play by ear. Never arrange a song, that would take all the fun away. Always start with a sound and tweek the hell out of it. The melody comes out like a sculpture from my mind. I love the process, but I´m really critical about my own stuff afterwards.
Arpeggionome pro is in my Point of wiev the most pedagogical app there is. It´s so easy to get some Amazing melodies and sounds. I try to listen to all you lads music. And there are many virtouses out there.
P.s I love this forum.
