First on the block to get one? http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2010/02...-bow-for-bass/
Why? I guess I just don't understand why.

Monotimbral electronic sounds get very repetitive very quickly. So the greater the number of "bridges" between a user input and sound generation, the more organic it will sound. |
