I find it amusing ... all this talk about a product that's not out. People excited by something they've not heard (it is a MUSIC creation tool is it not?). Oh yea.. I've heard the mp3 demos as well... about as charming as the demos in your current hardware synths ya? It's similar to the hype that folks (myself included) have lumped on Max/MSP. I recently saw Jan Jelinek (1/2 of Farben, one-whole of Gramm) perform using not only hardware, but it appeared to be very archaic. This taught me a very valuable lesson about worshipping a false "God" (hardware), when this "God" is truly in the music. (insert standard disclaimer here about how tools have shaped modern music in their own right... yada yada yada).
Peace, hugs, love, and blech!

Of course you actually have to PRACTICE them. Even things that are 'easy' to use are hard to use artfully. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
