not everyone works like you, this kind of argument happens a lot, it's quite myopic.

looks like an interesting guy, inventor of Perl. linear scans being a bad idea because associative arrays are linked lists and inherently non-linear?
check the studio pics... some of the guys doing really synth heavy great tracks have studios that are just a small keyboard, some speakers and maybe a control device, then you've got other guys who have tons of hardware, you just never know how others are going to work, it's a big world. the other day some poster was saying they hardly ever use session view, sounds strange but why the hell not? sound quality between hardware and software - dead end thread. build quality - dead end thread. horses for courses.

Nice to get a view on the thing from someone who isn't an obvious trance-hater though these boards are overrun. No real obvious ones in this thread though, TD just hates tiesto hehe
add a fuckload of sidechain compression
Always end up a mix by sidechaining the mix comp to the kick. Just gives that *wtf* effect

Congrats Fool! I got mine for $500 US dollars. Be sure to mess around with the feedback oscillator, it gets real nasty. Also, the freely assignable ribbon controller is cool as well.

For what it's worth, my friend uses it for hip-hop.
His myspace is:
http://www.myspace.com/jzoneoldmaid
His stuff is a combination of samples and the JP8000, it's hard to hear where the sounds are from he has them mixed together so well.
