I'm kind of going that... except the rack is the thing going. BYE BYE. I'm keeping my guitar effects (vox tonelab se) and extra looper (Giga Delay) on the floor, and using a synth (Micron) as a MIDI controller. As stable as my laptop's been so far, the good thing about this is that with the looper in the Tonelab plus the Giga Delay and Micron I could do quite a bit of show if the laptop was to die on me. I know I've been diss'n it but the Giga Delay may become a RC-50. In terms of a "net" it may serve me better, but that's depending on how often I start playing out again... or if I do at all. I don't know Max/MSP at all, but I can tell you that the cool thing I like about Reaktor is that for $300 if you treat it like a bunch of cool softsynths/beatboxes/effects and never ever program a single damn thing yourself you'd for sure have your money's worth. In terms of reading manuals... I really have read little so far. Most things seem fairly intuitive that I've encountered.... really the only manual I've been reading is the EDP manual! That's to learn Mobius. The softsynths I've been playing with seem very easy to get... but I've worked in music stores which took in used gear with no manuals so I'm pretty good with the old "see what it does" routine. Trust me, if you can use Photoshop or Flash well you can learn anything. Come on in Ted, the water's great! Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
