i understand your feelings here.

however, as someone who grew up with computers, and who was making  
music with their computer long before they owned any actual gear,  
i've gotta say that even though i love computer sequencing and such,  
even Volta will only have its place in the studio as the best way to  
get control from things inside the computer to the analogue  
synthesiser. there will ALWAYS be a place for analogue voltage and  
trigger sequencers, quantisers, logic, etc. for the musician who  
needs to _play_ their synthesiser. even if it is getting its pitches  
from Numerology and Volta.
