At most they think it's a toy ... *sigh*. I'm disappointed that, at this day and age, I can't go buy a digital controller like this that's new without having to pay money++ aka ztar. I wish casio made these in wood+metal. I have 3 of them now so I can fix the two working ones if a part breaks. Oh boy thanks Roland .. I can buy a chaos "kaoss" pad. Woopty do. Oh boy Yamaha, I can buy your latest a greatest keytar reissue which is mostly for the 80's revivalists. Or better yet, I can drop $2000+ for a custom super tactile midi controller from [insert small german electronics company here] that most people play with feather fingers. *sigh* You can't blame just the musicians for making bad performances. Not everyone playing music is a hardware hacker, etc like many of us on the list, so unless more interfaces are available, then people won't use them. -- Dan Wilcox danomatika www.robotcowboy.com
