there's a moving parts mailinglist on here somewhere, someone I'm sure will
point you to the address.

actually, I thought the same thing when I took the "Intro to
electronic/computer music" at my school, but I actually learned a hell of a
lot.. Though we were only allowed to use GM sounds and some sounds made by
the instructor (which one of them I loved..:) and of course, you can always
make some cool things with juno106 and have the knob data put in so that the
sound you made is configured at the start of the track.

Even though the majority of sounds available were lame, that was one of the
best classes I've ever taken. You about the history of electronic music, as
in synthesizers.. and unlike what you may think, they are
electronica/idm/techno friendly (at least my teacher was).. and notable to
say that he also fell in love with Aphex Twin's Flim track :)
