I think it useful to have _some_ OT discussion as it provides an opportunity for list 
members to evaluate the tools they've been using (AN1x, for example) in comparison 
to the current trends (mini Keyboard controllers and Softsynth) as there is much 
overlap in features. However, the redundant posts of specs of MIDIMAN stuff is over 
the top...a simple link to the MIDIMAN or Evolution web sites would suffice. Thank 
you.

p.s. - my vote goes to the microKorg (Knobs, Pads, sliders, X/Y Pad) and the Edirol 
boards...not big on the MIDIMAN stuff.
