again, i am wondering, as creamware users are fanatics (may be due to the extreme flexibility of the system...unavailable on other platforms), why don't they propose a creamware keyboard affording special features for example (dedicated to creamware system). That would lead to :
- big sales of a very useful tool for all musician (master keyboard+controllers)
- the spread of the brand
- the sale of soundcards easily controlled bu=y the keyboard...
As we all know music gear is becoming more than a tool for musician. there is something very affective. For that reason many keeep their old synth although emulation is becoming increasingly realistic...
I think that modules to control with a master keyboard are always more convenient...think if you have a broken key and everything must go for repair....
most of us already have keyboards.
dedicated controllers might be nice, but an already accepted, worked-out system like mackie control protocol might be easier than developing from scratch....and more profitable in the long run.
