===================

i've already mentioned it, at the top of my wish list -
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/korgpolyex/message/2891

but some of the other features are pretty fscking impressive...

and i have to admit... with a hardware controller and real-time control of
everything, velocity does seem less important. but with a mono-portamento
mode... let's just say it would make a unique 303(-style) emulator with
velocity control...

"Democracy and capitalism have very different beliefs about
the proper distribution of power. One believes in a
completely equal distribution of political power, 'one man,
one vote', while the other believes that it is the duty of
the economically fit to drive the unfit out of business and
into economic extinction, and inequalities in purchasing
power is what capitalist efficiency is all about. Individuals
and firms become efficient to be rich. To put it in its
starkest form, capitalism is perfectly compatible with
slavery. The American South had such a system for more than
two centuries. Democracy is not compatible with slavery."
