please don't get me wrong.. i also prefer all above that you 
mention.  
so to be more specific, i was just speaking in terms of doing 
stuff like adding cv control to digital manglers.   for instance 
something as simple as using an a155 to control a grain 
sampler.  one place to start is to control the start position of a 
sample with one row of the a155 and the sample's length  w the 
other row.  stuff like that.. simple to do but of course involves the 
cv being converted to midi (which is not that evil) to control 
anything you want on the powerbook, and send that whereever 
you want.  and for playing live, it only takes 2 seconds (or less) to 
change where your cv is going.  it's really no hassle, i'm not a fan 
of midi either but i won't let that stop me from getting the a100 
and the craptop talking to each other w relative ease.  ..try it!
