why should a bunch of anonymous (to the casual listener at least) synths be more interesting than a pc? whatever equipment you use, it doesn't matter, people don't go to look at your rack. a desk and pc (and nice comfy office chair) infact would probably make more of a spectacle than a raftload of 'real' gear, it would probably do people's heads in. if you're doing a live show, the visual element in terms of artistic display is very much more important than the pile of equipment, isn't it? it seems rather shortsighted - external synths samplers fx and even mixers will eventually disappear. all in the little beige box cheerio! np - 'circuit' - heatsink \/\/\/\/\/+++++''''|||| AVANT-GARDE NOISE TREMBLING NOISE UNIT ---/\_ phabulous phreeky fone filosophy, on the way soon from salford sounds mr svinsdig, mr jones and silicon vortex to follow CIGAR SMOKERS UNITE £575 ----- --------
