are you saying anyone who uses real sounds in music that is electronic-jazz minded is ripping off UR? LOL the machines being used to make techno were originally made to reproduce real sounds without having to have 10 people there to play each instrument. a 909 has a bass drum, hi hats, snare, etc. just like a real drum kit. technology limited their ability to pull off an accurate representation and as these machines gave way to sampling devices, their prices fell as did their demand. at this point, people started picking them up for making all kinds of electronic music (and others no doubt), and things kind of built on that. at some point sounding "wrong" got cool and now the synth market is in the process of doing a 180 to catch up. look at the old ultramarine albums if you want some heavy mixture of synthetic and real sounds in a jazzy/electronic vein. your assertion that someone who uses "real" sounds in tracks will be biting from UR is just silly. the music has existed as long as the gear has, but it seems its just never been marketed in a way that has caught your attention perhaps I misunderstand you, but at the very least, your original statement could stand some clarification -Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas D.
