Lightning Talk: Archaeopteryx on the Cheap
summary
Explains how to run Archaeopteryx cheaply by wiring it to MIDI Patchbay and GarageBand on OS X so Archaeopteryx’s MIDI output actually reaches a software instrument; requires creating virtual inputs/outputs, reinstalling GarageBand and extra loops if missing, and using a drum kit because most non‑drum sounds suffer. Includes runnable examples (eval_style.rb works; ambient.rb is poor for drums), notes platform hooks in Practical Ruby Projects for Windows/Linux and encourages submitting patches.
