Hey Dan,, If you look closer to the things I compared, I think you will see the G70 was faster.. Writing a sound program, adding effects , capturing a style performance via midi capture (way faster), adding and editing sound parameters and sequence data... and never touching a mouse..
That’s my point though Fran, and that is there doesn’t have to be a lot of mouse clicking either. Mapping controls isn’t just for the DAW. Many VST’s allow you to map controls to them as well. I can can open and close a VST, adjust parameters (including effects), and not touch the mouse. It’s like I said, it falls down to how well you know the DAW you’re using and the VST’s you have. Also.., many synth/workstations have preset templates built in for popular DAWS. My MOXF is a great example.

Dan, I also have Ableton, New Cakewalk, and MixCraft9 pro studio..
I also have VIP and have used a lot of good controllers, the last being Code61.
Bang for the buck goes beyond free, MixCraft VST packages make it the bang for the buck winner to me.
I stand by every detail I mentioned.. none of the DAWS I have are a match for work flow against a keyboard like the G70.. For sound design, layout of quick ideas, and over all speed.. They named a DAW correctly Digital audio workstation..
In the MIDI area.. flow wise no contest..
Audio is a different story, that is the point of a DAW.
Fussing and setting up an elaborate controller is a pain, and no you can not depend on factory templates. VIP turned out to be a total nightmare..
The way to use a DAW for me... is to do everything on my G70 (midi wise, and send it to MixCraft or record into MixCraft. Then add audio, VST's, or video to the project..
This method is by far the best..
Dan when are you coming to the old neighborhood for a visit? Any of your family still here? Almost twenty years, I guess your daughter is all grown up... and you are getting to be an "old man"
