This may be the experience of analog reality vs. digital reality. After a
half-hour, our brains (un)consciously recognize that we are hearing one of
127 different gradations of the same parameter, while with an acoustic
instrument, the gradation is virtually infinite. Also, there is the direct
tactile feedback: acoustic instruments rattle our bones in a way unlike a
speaker cabinet.

And the more we leave to accident, the purer our lives must be, otherwise 
we
fall right into that Divine Space, eh? OH, my mind is so flying on this! 
The
balance between Control and Accident!
