Yeah - you'd have to see some side-by-side comparisons to
   features to be sure but I suspect they're equally capable units.
   For me it's the live changes you can do that's so much fun.
   Minimal setup required - just start playing and fiddle with the
   knobs ''til you get a sound you like. And after not much time,
   you can figure out what everything does without having to know
   any music theory. [I took an electronic music class in 1990 and
   played with an ARP and Moog.. but I honestly didn't care about
   the wave functions and stuff... I just wanted access to the
   ancient analog synths with the patch cables along with their
   multitrack recorder. Totally worth it] == my horrid final
   project for the class. Programming the sequences was fun, no
   idea how to do it now, 25 years later. I think I barely knew
   what I was doing THEN either... it was two separate keyboards I
   was using, patch cables everywhere... no idea how I did now...
   but I passed so I guess it was good enough for the teacher. ==
   well, I hope you didn't get past 4:30 then... even on the
   big-reel 4 track --> cassette --> computer, the ear piercing
   tones remain... ugh... lol - I was 18 yrs old. Then again, I'd
   make almost the same now. I haven't changed. I like annoying
   noises. === I just wanted to get this stuff OFF cassettes
   collecting dust and get them "out there" somehow. Still have
   dozens of cassettes of piano playing, Korg stuff - from age 8
   onwards. I hate the fact that they're just collecting dust,
   magnetic fields moving the particles around, disintegrating.
   Gave up on trying to "do songs" a long time ago. Too much
   pressure smile emoticon I just enjoy myself. == Yeah, I'm not a
   fan of most computer music software. I mean I kinda understand
   it, but it seems very SLOW and tedius. I like on-hand, fast,
   speedy. I like built-in stuff better too.
   [1]http://www.warmplace.ru/soft/pixitracker/ is the only
   computer synth I kinda like. Works like mariopaint - chiptunes.
   SO fun to use. Oh Ill have to find a pic of my fostex... I
   PROBABLY have it in a box somewhere unless I sold it on eBay a
   long time ago and forgot. ==
