Just a couple of points.<br>
<br>
You write: "[...] by an electronic musician I mean a person who needs
fancy effects and
whose work relies more on manipulating sound rather than actually
playing notes and just getting them together. A modern electronic
composer heavily relies on chains of effects which allow him to work
with the sound in a flexible and imaginative way."<br>
<br>
I don't share that point of view. Although I understand that the
concept of 'electronic musician' is very ambiguous. Any 'musician'
now-a-days has to deal with 'electronics' (computers)... In the same
way the interpretation of the definition of 'electronic music' spans
from dance-like music with an 'electronic' flavour to what some would
call 'electronic art music'.<br>
<br>
In general I can see a point in being as extreme as considering only
two applications, but I find the 'they have nice polished gui, so they
are cool' approach a little simplistic. Nothing against polished guis :)<br>
