i know this guy here personally... he's one of germany's most respected DnB artist worlwide and i think he's a genius which shows,that it's the person,not the machine...he is doing a lot of his tracks only with the NORD G2 (and a sequencer only for arranging)...

you said it right man: HE is a fu*king genius, the dude is a digital wizard and makes some of the coldest and brutal drum and bass I've ever heard.. top darkside producer ever (in my mind).
On the other hand (pulled from Madrona Lab's Aalto manual):
7. PATCHER
The Patcher is the dark central strip in the plug-in window, surrounded on all sides by the Modules. e Patcher lets you connect signals from the outputs of modules to the inputs of modules. It is notable that multiple inputs can be fed from a single output, or multiple outputs to a single input. We think this is way more powerful and easy to use than a ton of menus.
and Steevio, countless others, and I agree.. patching with cables is WAY more POWERFUL and EASY to use.
powerful and easy a great adjectives when describing musical instruments if you ask me.
also.. isn't a G2 a couple grand now days? and I've heard from a few heady producers that the knob/control interface is a bit unusable.. still want one though.. or a Kyma.
lol, fun argument here!
