It's not quite that much, is it?  Wait, yes, you're right!  Wow!

I've been using Twelve Tone Systems stuff since Cakewalk 3 and just loaded 
up SONAR 4 Producer.  I'm amazed--it's getting to the point where there 
isn't anything it can't do now.  I only wish I used it more than about four 
times a year before the next upgrade comes out.

Unfortunately SONAR 4 really likes to crap out on my system (especially 
when using software instruments like the Arturia stuff---it crashes).  But 
they just released a patch for SONAR 4, so I'm sure it'll get more stable.

I have used the sampler included w/ one of the versions of SONAR to sample 
#805 just to see how it'd work.  Pitch stretching is awful stuff - I'd have 
to record all 35 keys for sure.  But I'm content using the real deal.

Recently I picked up an ARP 1623 hardware sequencer.  Now *that* is 
fun.  It is controlling an MG-1, Minimoog, and PolySix (the arpeggiator 
trigger).  Add in #805, and it's instant Berlin School.  (Sorry, that's 
about the extent of my musical ability.  :-) )

M400 #805 - instant anything, just add hands
M400 #1037 - wants to go to school, too
