Again , about MIDI and the people who use it - it is just a joke to get your panties in a wad . I really don't like MIDI and it is a joke to all of us analogue heads but I do have some favorite groups that use it , like KOMPUTER , YAMO and DEVO . As far as KRAFTWERK , their recording system is something that they built and it does have a lot more than just 4 tracks but they only use 4 . Their method of recording is to program all the machines and let them run until they come across something they like and then they record it on 2 tracks and the other 2 are for vocals or the DLS ( digital lead singer ) . That is how I do it as well , eventually I would like to have a KORG D-8 ( I don't want data compression ) . I also have a DLS and I use an old SPEAK and SPELL for other kinds of vocals . Try not to let it upset you too much , I live in Georgia and their are a lot of analogue heads here and we poke at MIDI and samplers for fun .
