The matter is that of the previosly spoken "thinginess"... which means that synths are dedicated for music making, ergonomically and functionally designed for the purpose of making music, in contrast to personal computers.

Naturally, this is a subjective matter. But I myself find that point-clicking in Cubase brings stupid and unnecessary abstraction to things, it feels more like setting up a table in Excel than creating. Using dedicated hardware sequencers allows me to focus on the music in a way that Cubase does not... But then that's different from program to program, I've used Amiga trackers that I loved, I guess that because they make use of the keyboard to a much larger extent than Cubase... /johan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
