Its fine kurth, the point i think is that alternative work surfaces can be more expressive in the hands of somebody who has the skill to use them, but others seem to be reinventions of a piano keyboard, but less capable of expression.i look at some of the walkthroughs Spitfire do on their products, and because of them, i have bought them, but it seems i lack the ability to reproduce what they have built into the products. They often need right hand for the keys, and almost five fingers on faders in the left hand, to access the vsti adjustments.
Maybe its mimicking a real instrument, or accessing even more amazing sounds, does it matter.
The words and music thing is a bit different take the music away and you still have poetry, but music is still music without the lyrics, just more ‘exposed’? If you have brilliant and expressive words, what supports them needs to be solid. Tuning precise, timing tight, balanced correctly and musically appropriate. Lots of the alternative controllers in the youtube videos are clever, but musically undeveloped.
