Heheheh!! Thats exactly what I dont want!

When I play a synth, I express with parameters like tune, filter, lfo etc. Much like a singer 
uses her voice. Applying them all to the same controller, would take me no where, but if 
its fine by you, thats good for you!
Do you realy need me to explane why? When you use the joystick, you force the same 
amount to all the assigned parameters, did you not think of this? heheh! :-) 
Its like playing the piano with a shovel, using all your fingers/2 hands to hold it vs. using 
your 10 fingers/2 hands playing different keys on the piano.

Im going to build an instrument of midi components, to get more expressions out of 
synths. In the meen time, im thinking of controling the MM with a Doepfer Pocket Dial.
It has 16 endless programable knobs, and it should work fine. Ill asign the most musicaly 
important parameters, and after my calculations, it should just about be ok with 16.

Im not a piano player, im a progressive synth tweeker that is forced to use keys. I feel 
musicians on other instruments more easy understands my need of expressing a synth as 
an instrument!
