Elektron Musical Instruments

Now that's good speaking :)
I must admit that you got it right Splank !

Everybody should do that, have their computer cook them something 
good and get laid with their virtual girlfriend (you all the hardware 
version keeps bugging every 28 days, frozen like a computer ..)

To me (and me only maybe) that software/hardware debate is bullshit..
Having a classical piano background, I can't imagine playing an 
instrument with a mouse and a keyboard as input methods..
Yes I am being narrow minded but could someone explain me how people 
dare explaining others that they will turn to computers to avoid 
having their gear bugging during a live-act.
If you're so afraid of having to cope with some unexpected behaviour 
of your gear, having to move your gear then don't play live.
Even easier : don'play music and and get some highly entertaining, 
vegetative life.. Then nothing will happen to you.

btw, i make music with a nice,small dedicated computer which has quite
a good interface. It runs a very good software and I can get some 
beautiful noises out of it.. It's called a MachineDrum..
Shame on it : I can't play games on it :)

Who's right then ?

Yes I like to mess things up..
