God Made Knobs And Sliders :-))) to be touched by the human hand, not to
be wiggled with a mouse on a computer screen.

See this link:

It's an astounding synth with an excellent interface (just trust me on
that, or go to your local Guitar Center and try one).
But i betcha that same awesome interface would Suck Ball Bearings (TM)
if emulated in a software GUI.

But i guess this is "the other flamewar" (hard synths vs. soft synths),
isn't it? ;-)
