Hang on a second! I was giving the guy a run down of some of the differences between a workstation and a synthesizer to help him make his desicion. I never realised I'd have a group of locusts coming out and saying crap like;

"I disagree more with Equalizer than I do with you"

Is this the new fashion - to start disagreeing with everything I say, just because of my political comment post???

The bottom line is, if you really want to get into a word game then there are certain people on this thread who have made several statements which are utterly WRONG. For example...
-----------------------------------------
"all workstations include a proper synthesizer" - by Tek

I say- WRONG! I own a Roland G600 workstation and it absolutely does NOT have a synthesizer on board.
------------------------------------------
Here's another...

"The term workstation doesn't have anything to do with realistic instruments or the fact that samples are being used." again by Tek

I say- Ok, smart ass, if that's the case, name me one single workstation that you can buy in the shops which does not utilise the triggering of onboard samples.
--------------------------------------------

And then, later on in the thread, we have people talking about "verbal battles" and "argueing both sides of the thread".

Listen guys, I didn't reply to the original post with the intention of going into some kind of childish word game. I replied to the original post with the intention of helping a fellow musician who needed a little friendly advice.

If you want to turn this into some kind of personal war, then please count me out. I've got better things to do.
