I have never heard anybody say this. Have you? Then again, if all you use your musical skills for is tuning outboard motors you may not make a heck of a lot of money. I know Spike Jones used to use all sorts of non-musical devices in his music but I don't think he ever used outboard motors. Ah, this is comp.music, OK, does anyone have an algorithm for generating a rap beat on a Dataproducts 'Chain-Train' line printer? Also, I have made a set of percussive instruments out of an old RP06 disc pack, if anyone's interested.
