I think I know your next argument: we don't need virtual instruments

as plug-ins, eh?  And while at that, let's dump lash/ladish crap

altogether. Session management is for n00bs, real musicians have sound

engineers to do it for them, so they can focus on actual music :)
(On reflection, it provides a new dimension to my recent little visual

joke about Dream Theater's approach to music:

rush?") Paul, how about visualization of little pixies doing JACK

transport or pitch-shifting in A3? I know Gordon would love it :))

Gordon, there's no shame admitting you make a good use of hardware for

making music. We all did it, honestly. Some of us still do. Hardware

is joy to use.

"Sample editor" as in "Swami" or "gigedit"? I wouldn't mind see them

merged, actually.

Giving up is easy. Patching A3 to remove offensive MIDI tracks so that

the sight of the word "MIDI" in few parts of UI doesn't give the

willies is a real task for a real man. Be a man, Gordon, control your

software :)
