With all these music making programs out there, I've just got the attitude to stick with what I'm used to.
All this time put into trying to learn one program after another I will NEVER get any music done!

Don't get me wrong, but max/msp is a bit too boring for me, I'd rather build my own instruments in the real world in electronics, that way, I could add as many knobs and buttons as I wanted, when and where I wanted, then just add a little midi interface round the back.
Yeah, ok max/msp is cheaper (my shopping list for maplins is nearing 200quid on components), but EVERY feature can be tailored for me :p

um
but you CAN add as many knobs and buttons as you want? theyll just be virtual.
Wouldnt just be easier and cheaper to use MAX, and then just have like a few MIDI controllers, of knobd and sliders, to assign?
Then that way, you can make multiple instruments/whathaveyou and use the knobs over for all the different things you make.

Well, I could make a custom midi controller and use that......but..........
Using max/msp gives you knowledge of, well max/msp, whereas doing it in hardware gives you a knowledge of electronics, interface programming, metalwork, soldering and spending!
Also, if I design it myself, I don't need to learn how to use it, granted it won't be half as powerful as max/msp, but it isn't meant to be. I could easily make 2 or 3 dozen modules over the years and make a controller for it all instead of using max/msp, but I doubt that is for everyone.
I think the real difference is that max/msp cannot be as unique as something I make. And at the end of the day, home made gear rules!

it arrives on the 10th. But its back ordered (HUGE demand apparently). Luckily, I was one of the first people to preorder, and Ill be getting mine from the first shipment. So Ill have it within 2-5 days of the 10th :-D
Oh, and word on the net is that clavia is reconsidering the Mac editor!
That would be HOT
