- and, if you have no computer (well, an apple IIe? no...) then one EPS-16+ is
- better than nothing. sometimes people only have money for certain things.. i
- prefer to have all keyboards or rackmounts, because i fear i will have a reboot
- box or something on my invisible mac (haha) but i am saying that i necessarily
- don't trust a mac for live performances. i actually <<LIKE>> having to load in
- samples, songs, and change the parameters as well as have push button stop
- start functions as well as real time voice filtering. if you can have a
- sequence on a mac or amiga or whatever platform, then also alter the resonance
- of a Time Varient Filter, per se, then i am impressed. but, you have to go to
- ANOTHER PROGRAM, not just another page.

- hey, guess what isn't random? the tb303. you program each note, then assign the
- time values to them. the randomness you THINK that you are hearing is actually
- just a square or sawtooth. there is no random or noise waveform to control the
- 303. besides. the "computer controlled" disclaimer on it is probably just a
- Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO). the sh101 has one as well, so therefore
- NEITHER ARE COMPLETELY ANALOG.

- i would like to see this KENTON contraption, but it seems that they have been
- hard as hell to get a hold of...
