There is no value in that, simply surviwing bussines
and basic market tactics following this months trend.

No it was not, it was just another "soft synth package" to me.

Modern age?

So what your trying to say is that softsynths is modern thing?
As far as im concerned decent soft synths existed even in
the mid 80. ies. Forinstance one of the first available softis
was for the Atari Falcon, and if not entierly out in the green 
there was several avialable for the Next and Amiga 2000 computers.

That puts us down to at least 20 years back!

Thats interesting insight, but i do love to hear certain pro people
on a pro high end mail list groan and moan over protools, soft synths
and all the hassle it can create!

Have you ever got struck by how average, mediocre, utterly crap,
the music seene is since the last 10-12 years? The more technique
related the music is the worser the reults is/was.

Who wants to sleep with Madonna?!
