sure. and I'm also sure that a talented musician will always overrun a less talented one, no matter the gear they have. Some weeks ago I heard a guy with a 303 and a JP8080 doing great stuff...then I thought "I've got a TI, a piano, a laptop, a Triton, a KaossPad and so on, why can't i play like him??"...I guess it's not only a matter of technical skill [I'm a nearly-accomplished pianist, I never had troubles with "notes" in electronic music] but you need to know your gear and how to use it
anyway, let me say that maybe one can make music without playing a key, and probably it could be even good music...but they will never have my pleasure in playing classical music on a piano [and, of course, playing romantic music for my girlfriend
], that's enough for me.
of course, my 2 cents. no need for "crusades"
