Reminds me that I miss the Arp2600... There was something so intuitive and physical about patchpanels and knobs as a way of programming synths. Closest we get these days is Reason, which doesn't quite encourage the same manic "I don't care what it's supposed to do, let's try this and see what it does" approach.
