So maybe to take a few steps forward we need to take a few steps backwards....take out the old DX7. Personally, I love the machine and what it could do.

Yes, the only shortcoming was the editing. But after I bought the software package to edit it on the screen you zipped right through making sounds. And you could modulate those sounds in so many ways. I have a hankering to pull it out and listen to it again.

But, getting back to the breath controller, I hear what you're saying....not practical on samples....great explanation.

But then.....even if it worked as well as on the DX7, the more I thought about it the more I reminded myself this is not the 70's anymore when a good OMB reigned supreme. Now no one really cares if you have a breath controller or a lollipop in your mouth.

It's a shame now that we have all this technology and pretty much nowhere to go with it.
