gents

i certainly see your points - i do feel a lot more akin to on-the-fly
performance style with my synths, i'm not sure i've ever written down
a setting in my life. i developed mild tendonitis years back from
working with rack-mount samplers and mixers, so i think working with
the sliders on ARP's was always a relief - and i've always had more
fun with them live then any other synth.

i must say, i've always appreciated the openness to crazy opinions on
this board versus AH... danke.

saving money for another portable cabinet,
