<< I'm just curious: why does it seem like so many people don't want full

contour generator to an individual, his response is "why would you want
that?" >>



david,
i don`t think we are "against" individual inputs so much as we were in favor
of making sure there was a single input that would let you control / scale
the respective times. i know in the past, i`ve found this single input more
"friendly" than all the individual inputs. on the other hand, i was also able
to use the individual inputs with the sequencer / touch kybd / controller
that system had to allow me to set up 16 eg "presets" and be able to switch
among them in various ways. both approaches have merit. i know that the next
eg i buy from d∗∗∗∗∗∗ is going to be their vc model and it uses the
individual inputs only. to get the vc all effect will actually require extra
patching and a multiple. in the best of all worlds, both options would be
available ala s∗∗∗∗. possibly, too, the issue arises due to considerations
about panel space and the cost of adding additional controls that may seem to
be of minimal use. notwithstanding, i agree that more options are better than
fewer!
best,
dave v.
