Elektron Musical Instruments

I totaly agree with you...
but... it's possible today to play live performances with virtual instr
thanks to MIDI controllers.
See for exemple "Herbie Hancock"... He plays Virtual instr. from Emagic.
It is interesting as soon as you can interact with MIDI controllers like
MIDI keyboards and knobs...
But please nooooo.......... not only with a mouse!!!
