Subject:Re: Nord Electro---some miscellaneous remarks

Now, I know there's a gillion different little motors out there AND
I don't own a Nord, BUT

I do own a Yamaha DMP-7 8ch digital mixer with motorized faders. I'm
here to tell you: You don't want motors on **anything**. Cool looking,
sexy, changes, and onlookers are invariably slack-jawed impressed. But
it comes at a pronounced price.

If Nord ever put motors on faders, I'd NOT buy one for sure.

Just my $.02USD.
