ABSTRACT
The computer’s strength has resided in stored functions and operations, in the capacity to issue extremely rapid control commands. For these reasons, electronic studios with large numbers of analog devices are now being equipped with small computers. By such means, a composer may store indefinitely a particularly attractive array of settings and interconnections between the devices of the studio. Having achieved an allover studio state that may involve hundreds of dials and connecting cables, he is now frequently required to tear it all down so that the next scheduled studio user can proceed with his work. The computer, however, can remember the exact condition of every item and reestablish them upon command in an instant.
