"At one point, as I was aquiring more and more VSTi's, I was starting to think that I needed to stop getting new instruments and learn how to use the ones I have got, to their fullest. I have since changed my mind and I have decided that I find having a wider range of instruments I am more "inspired" and each one has different characteristics and sets of presets."

I admit it. I need pictures and graphs to really understand what you were starting to explain, but I was sincere with my reply that a low grade digital synth experience can be fun warts and all.
