You are the voice of reason. I find it a struggle at times to balance my technical drive with my creative. I can't be in both head spaces at the same time.
Though I have the background to dive into the Giga-stuff the more I think about it ...I'll just wait a little longer.
I can get what I want creatively out of the Roland 5080. Truth be known, I'm still getting up the curve on all the various creative ideas and effects I can manage with my xp80,2080 and assortment of expansion cards. The 5080 with samples will keep me busy this year.
Thank you for taking the time to reply as you have. It really helped me out a lot.
