I never said KPT was Mac-only. My recollection is that the original KPT shipped for Mac first, but my recollection of 1992 ain't so hot. I don't recall any synths with this sort of genetic modification in 92, though morphing itself does predate that ... and, like I said, I was just getting off topic. I think there are some nice concurrences between music and visual concepts, anyway, that's my point. @Fractal Dimension: Generally, actually, mod wheel is implemented as only 0-127, using control change 1. If CC 1 is used with CC 21, you can get a high-resolution implementation that way. Pitch bend is its own thing -- it's a channel voice message, a la aftertouch and notes. (You need two control change messages to get the same resolution because control changes also need to transmit the number of the control change.) Um... meaning, long story short, usually you get low-resolution for mod and high-resolution for pitch. @Aaron: Hey, I *did* say I was getting off-topic. I never said KPT was Mac-only.

I thought that modulation wheel data was always high resolution, just like pitch bend. Well, you live and learn... That’s weird.

Really good prices, imo, when thinking about the prices one pays for Macs these days. Of course, Mac owners are considered lucky bastards by some, lol. Anyway, those toys sound so delicious. They just beautiful instruments, really. And I can think of uses for every one of Moog's effects pedals. Fine company, fine products. Little Phatty = $1,400, Voyager = $3,200.
