You see Mr. Head Who Wears the Hat, I am Mirror Universe Kroze come to visit your universe since I have already devoured my own universe and now need something new to consume/do. I do hope that you don't mind my presence here because... well... there isn't really anything much you can do about it! I am already all powerful and all knowing!
This is the way the world ends... not with a bang, but an "OH SHIT! ITS KROZE!".
My original thinking for getting the instrument was for being able to play many sounds in a pit orchestra, etc. - they always like to hire musicians who can play multiple instruments/sounds.
I know...I want one of those jobs.
I think those instruments work better the way you're using them...having greater musical control over a MIDI or sampled sound. I don't think we're at the point where a computer can replace a violin, but this can certainly COMPLIMENT instead of replace.
