OTOH, Carlos herself abandoned analog synths and switched to digital 
machines to do her most accurate imitative synthesis work, "Digital 
Moonscapes", and her most exploratory, "Beauty in the Beast".

Frankly I find it kind of amazing how much effort people will put into 
talking about what other people do with their synths. I mean, really, 
wouldn't you rather spend the time playing your synth?
