Oh, my GAWD. I can't BELIEVE that they really put a cassette TAPE GRAPHIC in there...

SHEESH!!!

This is exactly what I @#$%! HATE about modern music software. Do they think that we are that stupid? I mean, seriously. What kind of marketing idiot thinks that I'm falling for that one...?!

Look -- I really, REALLY wish that the makers of all of this... stuff... would just give us the bare essential on-screen controls that we need to make music with. I don't need to see a virtual tape being dragged across a virtual synchrocell with virtual spools twirling around! I don't need it.

What I NEED is a more powerful portable hardware unit that can play 16 instances of Omnisphere without a FAN.

Period.

How cool is that !
Now we can take ribbon into digital, without it inevitably getting damaged.
However seriously, very impressive enhancement.
Very good thread ;-)
