ehm..

because the hardware equivalent sounds 100 times better and more powerful
than reaktor?

i'm just playing around with tassman 4 here for a review. great
possibilities, and the modules look beautiful with their rugged 50's lab
look. only probblem is with bigger patches you just about need a video
beamer because you have 3 or 4 screens full of modules. i'm seriously
wondering if these guys are running another company making scroll wheels for
mice, because you'll wear one out in a month with this thing..;-)
