hey, this is great, but hard to use

That’s the nature of many musical instruments.

Not the kazoo of course, and if that’s your jam it’s cool by me. But it probably won’t get you to Carnegie Hall and that’s also cool by me.

Which is to say that in a community of musicians, complaining that developing chops is hard work doesn’t have much traction.

It doesn’t have much traction because even Garage Band requires commitment to achieve competence. It only produces slightly less poor to mediocre work easily.

But I completely agree that 2500 patches is not necessarily better than 64…a lot of dance music was made with a 303. Live no less.
