well digital is cheaper to start off with and, in a way, seems a bit more in tune with my computer nutty ways. I really like the hands on gear as well though because i'm a bit more "kinesthetic" I guess you'd say?

I've never tried cubase, my software experience has been FL Studio/Acid Pro/Vegas/Reason 2.0 and 3.0 (though I still use it like 2.0 because I didn't buy it and therefore have no manual to figure out how the hell the combinator is supposed to be used) but I plan on buying 4.0 because it's a great peice of complex software.

I want the Korg pad for portability, I carry my LIFE in my backpack (even my shaving stuff) and thats kinda weird, i know, I even have a full size room to put my shit in, but I just don't like being "home"

I have a 4.5 pound Vaio with all my software and samples loaded up on to it and then 3 hard drives worth of stuff on the home computer, so basically I could go hang out in the park, or an late night diner, work on some beats or synth lines, and bring it all back home and categorize it.

and yeah I don't really care for reason's seqencer but the one in 4.0 seems to be a little less retarded (I got my hands on the beta)

as far as double triggering or not triggering at all, that sucks, wonder if it has something to do with the programmable velocities?

I dunno, most of the stuff I've read would indicate it's pretty solid, and I think having the lil XY pad would be a nice "perk" to a midi device. It's really the only reason i'm considering it over the MPC 24 (which I kinda ruled out due to the only "advantage" that I could find being that it has more faders and knobs, but then, thats where the axiom would be useful)

I don't know, I've been a "hobbyist" in the genre for 5 years but mostly as a DJ, so I'm not too experienced yet, hopefully I'll get my head around it all once I have it in my posession (still looking at a few months till I round up the funds)
