    ...of course, you don't find it anywhere, as it wasn't stated explicitly and therefore I was talking intentionally about indicating it. So, momentarily, I don't think, I read it wrong. But I'm not a native-speaker, so that's perhaps the reason, why I probably got it wrong.

    However, to examine the presumable cause for this misunderstanding, let us assume for the moment, that the "those who" in your contribution might have been - not exclusively - but mainly have been just you referring to yourself in the third person. As scurrilous as I am, I'm insinuating both an ironic undertone, as well as an attempt to add authority to the statement by turning it into an asserted generalisation, which, due to its extensive enumeration, creates an effect of hyperbolism, that is supposed to lead the reader to the conclusion, that the "those who" not only may, but, in fact, will differ, and thus, unlike the ones, who are writing "2 bar boom bap" beats, cannot and will not be happy, as they, despite having learned the product, thinking outside the box as well as being experienced with other sequencers and samplers since the invention of sliced bread, simply cannot have a good sequencer and sampler, that not only integrates well in a more complex environment, but also allows to do something more complex, which is, where the product fails and that the "those who" have documented over and over again. (For a more pleasant experience, please assume someone with a voice like the one of Patrick Stewart has read this aloud).

    Though it has been drastically reduced, I tried not to cherry-pick in this first post, but to refer to the statement as a whole - like now, but this time explicitely. Of course, this description of the assumed intention here may be inaccurate and thus the interpretation falls flat on its arse - and then I may have indeed read it wrong.

    If that's the case, of course, I sincerely apologise for my impertinent allegation! Then I think, I'll have to revisit everything, that I have learned about rhethorical figures and communication strategies. But if I'm not - please...

    ...perhaps you might want to flip a coin to decide, how serious you'd like to take this. Nevertheless - seriously - have a nice weekend! ;) :D

    The amount of lurkers and ocasional posters seems to be bigger than usual here, often people unaware that some things have been said 1000 times, and we complainers jump to the opportunity to get them up to speed :D
    I also
    don't get this idea that if one complains about a few things then its because he is dumb, is negative, doesn't read the manual, is not creative, hates NI, should shut up and make music, use other software, etc, etc... One can really like something but also be critical about its flaws. Most people mean well. :p

    Indeed. I came here to ask a couple of questions and leave, the debates made me stay along with the fact that there are some really knowledgeable people here always willing to help.

    The idea of people not
    being able to complain and confine that to a single thread sounds like censorship to me, im glad the forum allows for freedom of speech.
