I'm not sure how you can conclude that the Zeit, in any kind of objective sense, would "smoke" the Octopus feature wise. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Eduardo Saponara <xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx> > > As far as new great sequencers the infection music ones seem to smoke everything > else I've seen feature wise and interface wise.
