You create oscillators? wow.

the vibrations of stringed instruments follow the same mathematical
properties that oscillators are designed to emulate. Same with all other
instruments. They're just more complex, and, ironically, usually sound
better by themselves than with other things mucking them up. That's why
when artists like Autechre or Aphex use these "real instruments," they tend
to use them unmodified, or with only slight modification.
Sorry, I don't like watching my friends use the computer, like "oh let's go
hang out. i can check my email and hop on irc." Ever wonder why so many
people say "For all I know, he was checking his email, but it sounded
good." If they're not doing things you can see, how do you know it's being
made on the spot? They could have Reaktor open and some knobs next to them
that they're twisting, with headphones on, but have a minidisk stashed
behind the monitor just playing the music.
Geez. It's like all you IDM people just wanna go see milli vanilli without
the dancing.
