noodling around
> with mapping midi nonsense has nothing to do with performing music.
===================================
Eh - neither does hooking up cables, tuning strings or any number of
things which are analagous with any instrument.
===============================
most of which are far more intuitive to do. really, you can switch
guitars numerous times in a show with the greatest of ease. try doing
that with a complex midi setup and its a whole other story.
Intuitive for whom?
That's a huge assumption you're making. For someone who's never fiddled
with anything but midi, I seriously doubt it.
I get your point (complexity), but the analogy is problematic because
you seem to be assuming far too much about how 'everyone' approaches
things, what knowledge base they have and how much complexity spoils the
soup (as if everyone os on an even keel here).
It really doesn't matter what argument you make...as long as you start
off by taking all of that for granted, the analogies will always be flawed.
