They consisted of a computer processor that ran a special program. The system was a full 24-hour day of sound that was programmed for every minute of each hour on four channels with another channel controlling lights. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of work, writing the scripts for a full day of noise! It also included a fast clock setting so the sound could be compressed into a shorter time loop. The system was designed in 1990, and was not upgraded as components changed, so by 2004 we could not produce any more due to discontinued parts. One of my business associates is working on a newer version that looks promising. No idea when it will be ready for testing but the potential for some great stuff is outstanding! Take care Bill
