Okay. I give up. I wrote the post you were responding to. If you're not
going to provide a context for your argument, you can't say that I took your
statement out of context. This is turning in to an Analog Heaven debate.

My main controller _is_ a K2600, and it's not that expensive. It is
remarkably average-priced, compared to the other normal tools that a
professional musician uses. It is comperable in price to a Triton or a
usable MOTM system, and about the same as any other flagship synth was when
it came out (e.g. Prophet 5, DX 7, 2600, or your precious VL-1.)

In any case, I'm done with this. If you want to be right, you can be right.
Have fun.
