If possible , I'd like to find a compromise between the hardware and software worlds. Which is: Keep SOME of my familiar analogue rack stuff and INTEGRATE a Mac laptop (also familiar to me) with miscellaneous, flexible looping and transmogrifying software plug-ins into what I do/have already. I don't want to spend a year of sleepless nights reading manals into the wee hours (and keeping my lovely wife awake). Reading manuals is not gratifying to my music making urge. I like certain aspects of Max MSP (in concept) but find the prospect daunting. I also find Reaktor attractive. It eeams a lot like Reason in terms of GUI (but what do I know). For the time being I plan to just muddle along 'til something inspires or compells me to change . . . or 'til I come up with a really bright idea of a solution to my dilemma.
