DJ Station a music generating computerprogram

DJ Station of DATA BECKER is a really strange computer program, it can generate music in different styles, but you can on the fly change how the music sounds like. 
How ? By adding music samples, change filters and other settings like speed or mood. 
DJ Station created an impressive number of so called DJs that generate some kind of style and mood. 

It possible to create your own DJ, but you cannot add your own picture in it or generate how the DJ should look like... that's what I miss the most in DJ Station. 
And they made a horrible bad looking icon  (see below)...

While it was designed for WIN 95/98, still it runs on Windows XP 
and higher, but cannot record/save/export the mix anymore.
With the right audio-/videograbber you can record the track and make a mp3 of it. 
 
What I like in DJ Station is you can interactive change the mix, while the DJ is playing his mix, you see every nod or switch move, crazy to see...

Because DJ Station is an old program it contajns music-styles we dont use anymore, 
like Cross-Over , Rave or Euro-House and the music or mixes it produced are very minimal and could easlily repeating itself, I like it any way. 

My bigest problem with DJ Station is mainly the vocals, mostly the female voices are annoying, boring and used too often. 
I made some tracks myself with DJ Station and upload them to Soundcloud, 
titled "Strong & Delayed".

See my other posts with the same title for more info... 

DJ Station was issued as an 2 CD-Rom package, mainly containing samples in wav format.
So installing all 15 (!) music styles will take a while...
