But, Doug..._DOUG_...why should you want to malign me by association
with
keypadcentricity? Sure and you know there is much in the way of
"alternative
controllers" for computer and MIDI alike, or in series; so much so that
one need
do little more, "pseudo-TV typewriter cheap excuse for a CD player
thing"-wise
than turn it on, open an application or three, turn it off, thanks for
coming
out, be sure to try the veal, good night, Albion, MI. The Peavey PC
1600x MIDI
fader box is legendary in this regard; virtually no self-respecting
MAX-head
goes out on the gig without one. You, Doug, would undoubtedly prefer the
Big
Briar MIDI Theremin. And, you know, once that USB-to-14" converter comes
out...

e-mail announcement straight away...there! Check out the last digest.
