Not really. I've done up tracks with cubase and although it is easy to
come up with something basic, it's much tougher to create something with
feeling and and a bit of originality to it. Also remember that techstep
is a lot more basic than most Squarepusher tracks. Half the time it
sounds like the producer quantized everything to 1/8th notes; there's
little complexity in the programming. And that's just the rhythm end of
it - writing tunes that evolve is more difficult than 5 min. of a hoover
bass line.
