Some dime-store philosophy: To me, Keven and Sebastion's views aren't
really so different.

"Using the entire spectrum of technologies available" is best done by
becoming proficient in all of them. Rather than "the world I just came
from", maybe "the world I just temporarily put aside in order to
become immersed and proficient in analog" would be another way to
think of it.

Midi, by its nature and pervasiveness, is always going to attempt to
impose itself on your analog world, come what may. Actively resisting
midi can be a way to ensure that the forces are in balance, ultimately
resulting in Kevin's vision.

Just my opinion.
