Tools of the trade for those interested -

Keyboards/Modules:

Well I did it... I got rid of all the midi module/keyboards (except for the Motif8), and now I'm using only software instruments in the studio. NO PROBLEM... and using Logic as my main composing application. I will still use MOTU Dig. Performer for certain mixing projects, like a 5.1 surround mix, but Logic is very composer friendly, so there you have it.
