hardware made specifically for the software... that looks cool. got me curious. NI makes great stuff and they seem to keep getting better. i've tried Guitar Rig, Kontakt, and use Reaktor a little and was blown away by it, but it takes some time to really know all the possibilities. i've also been wanting the nord modular G2 for a while. ableton's cool too and now there is a special controller for it? there's just too much good gear to get. damn! jeeze make it stop! you know, it's hard to focus on typing with the eyeball constantly moving around... but that is probably why you did it...
