Ok, a comuter can be used to play and create music, no argument there. However, they are not not designed specifically to play music, it is more of a utilitarian 'jack of all trades' tool and in our world of labels is not a true musical instrument.


All this intelectual crap about context and labels is just getting in the way of something that is really simple and resulted in some of the most stupid bull***t I've ever heard, really. Some folks started disapearing up their own bottoms they were trying to be soooo clever,ha,ha..


As mentioned earlier, what does it matter? If someone uses a computer to make music and they see it as their musical instrument, good for them, no harm done by them being mistaken....

< Spot the odd one out. Correct, a microphone is also not a musical instrument.

Have a great weekend and a Happy Easter, Gordon.
