i've had one of these on the brain for a while, though I haven't bought one.
mostly for live use but also for when I just couldn't look at my computer
for a while...sure, I guess they do have limitations but the sequencer (from
what I've read) is killer once you get your brain around it. Tons of people
swear by them so there must be something to them...just check the reviews at
conicstate or harmony central..interesting links with lots more info...good
luck though.
