Well, I was reading your messages about all these tube synths and stuff, you
guys talking about digital x analog, analog x tube, and so on. I kind of
don't admit that. It's something that you got to live with! Why do people
prefer to use a computer to write instead of using those old typewriters?
Because it's is more practical! It's easier! It has more features!

BUT, a computer isn't the future typewriter. They are different, they
produce different things (sometimes with the same purposing)! Many people
prefer to use the typewriter... because of the feeling. And they say that
these letters are unique. "There is no computer that make these letters",
they say. Well, they used to make a very good copy, but not perfect. But
today, they are perfect, they are the same, and those people continue to use
the typewriter!

This is the same with keyboards. Man, there are people who buy the digital
keyboards and use the sounds of analog, and they sound great! There is the
JP-8000! There is the Nord Lead! BUT, people still use the old analog stuff.
They aren't wrong: There's the feeling, and they say that the sound isn't
the same as digital copies. Digital people don't have to say that it's not
right, if it were, no one were using typewriters nowadays!

So, if you like digital, use it. Don't keep on sayng that analog lovers are
this or that, they are fool, bla bla bla. And, if you like analog, please,
stop talking that analog is better than digital, because it isn't! It's just
other instrument... I think it's a personal subect, we don't have to fight
about this. 

OK, bye.

PS: DIYers, I know you don't like AH, don't keep on repeating this...
