Hi,

Hey guys!

Any comments are welcome.

Just a couple of points.

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."

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'.

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 :)
