UD, you are right. I have always said the user interface (control surface) of software based systems is not as good as hardware based systems. In the end, it is also what you get used to and the balance between that and quality of sounds and effects. More and more live performers are using the software based approach. It is also a business decision. Good sounding software is very expensive. You need to make a rate of return - but not as high as Fran's (G1000).

You see all you guys have way to much stuff. Plus you buy low and sell high. Thus there is a need for Robin Hood. In addition, Fran needs to beable to get out of his studio to spend quality time with his loved one. Age is even creeping up on Fran. Sad!!!
