Well, like the original theorem where the monkeys write Shakespeare on all the typewriters, there are limits. If the monkeys all had english language typewriters they couldn't exactly start coming up with the collected works of Naguib Mahfouz except in translation. So here our monkeys would be limited to the sonic capabilities of the Oberheim Matrix-12, which while quite impressive do not cover the entire spectrum of possible music or sound. Now if you gave 50 of the monkeys MPC-3000s and the other half Matrix-12s and patched them into each other, that would be the shit. I think then you could accomplish close to what you are proposing. Either that or more Ae clone stuff. Tom
