<<Would I use it to perform live? No... I would sample it and use the
samples...>>

I've done both, and I prefer having the real thing there just for the...
uh.... vibe, I guess. and the ritual. parking the bugger on the stage seems sort
of... decisive. we always find it it's spot before anything else- it has to be
facing north and on a ley-line or it gets stroppy. and of course, it's right
in the way of everything else that needs rigging.
these days, though, it ain't so practical for me, because the rest of the
band live out of town and the rehearsal studio in stockport is three floors up in
a warehouse. but at least they're our own samples.
gene, you could chip in here and explain how even two or three 400's on the
same stage (always tempting fate to even have two in the same postal district
unless it's blithbury..) managed to leave a minimoog redfaced ;-)
