MOTM

I have to echo this sentiment. Unless there's REALLY no way to do something
(as with the complexity of a sequencer, perhaps), personally I'd rather
stick to knobs & switches.

I already have a room full of ESQ-Ms, TX-81Zs, various Proteus modules,
DVP-1s, and so on and so on... all with little weenie displays and data
knobs... and what do I do? I decided to go buy a modular synthesizer to get
*away* from it all. I would hate to see my modular start looking like my
rack of Proteuses (Proteii?).
