Yes, i'm sure it's not new, although implemented in a software environment may well be...rejuvenating. I'm struck by the elegant simplicity of it, and the ease of use, hence the mail. Not sure about apples and oranges though. I've seen a few attempts at using midi for automation, none of which were as easy to use. I'm also not sure that "powerful" readily equates to a requirement for added complexity. If a design is so easy to use that you're not aware of it, then old or not, it must have something going for it. Just my view or course.
