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

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."
