We can join virtually anything to anything else!
Although the use of computers for live theatrical productions is more common these days, we prefer to use mini discs. We find them more reliable and flexible. If you ask a minidisk to play, it plays - computers often decide they might like to wait a few seconds and a few seconds on stage waiting for the music to start can seem like a lifetime.
We use the following equipment and software to create our music, audio files, midi files, sequences and manuscripts.
