The Notron does still have a few cool tricks of its own the P3 doesn't
emulate. For  example,  I love its knobs that globally alter note
length and velocity, especially when you group multiple notes together
and use the knob to bring the whole group 'in or out' by tweaking
their velocities. 

It also has a strangeness about it that means you never quite
understand it - which *can* be a good thing. 

Oh, Beatcreep and Supersteps are pretty awesome features too.... and I
never even used version 2. However, it was never intuitive enough -
even the developer had to keep referring to the manual when he brought
it round here...

The P3 may not kill the Notron but it's cheaper, uses standard parts
(and can therefore be repaired) and a good shape. And in terms of
features, there's *nothing* that comes close to the P3 as of today.
Tomorrow, who can say?
