Has anyone ever mentioned the perfect curve designed into the end-caps ?

Has anyone ever mentioned the perfect curve designed into the end-caps ?

2008-05-16 by eric_swhite

Hello. I have been hunkering down, and focusing entirely on programming 
complete tunes on my MP-7 only. All other gear is turned off. I have 
found my right hand resting on the upper right corner of the big, black 
plastic end-cap. It lives there, and twirls the data knob from time to 
time. The shape and feel of this aspect of the machines' body, is so 
slick, it's like a sports car. Electronic music is such a hand-oriented 
preoccupation, I appreciate that the designers at E-Mu, thought about 
that.  They seem to have created an inviting place for my hands to 
visit.
I have everything I need in there, except a sampler. I think I'll just 
add my trusty old Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 into the loop, on 
one of the external "b" tracks.
This is my "small, dead, southern california synth maker" set-up. It 
really puts out a different vibe, than the Japanese: Roland, Korg, etc.
Synthetically slipping away, ESW.

Or like Agatha Christie.  By the way, I removed the big black plastic "ears" at the sides since I bought them. They take a lot of space, and I have that idea that the command station cools better without them. There is better air ventilation.
