it's nothing but synths in a more accessible format. Still gotta play the keyboard, still gotta turn the knobs. It's more difficult to make than a more simple synth song like, say, Subdivisions or Won't get Fooled Again. Either stop being elitest or go tell Geddy Lee and Pete Townsend they're not talented.
Dizz I agree that it does ultimately require one to have the foresight and some musical imagination and plan to pull off the right buttons at the right time...
And Josh, If you use a drum machine, (which is all buttons), you wont get any mileage out of it, unless you happen to know how to play drums. Black-boxing synth technology does not abrogate ones responsibility to have the manual skills.
Most of the drums aren't even programmed into a drum machine anymore, if you have a program i.e. Ableton Live, you can just program them directly into the file via your keyboard, then manipulate them by cutting and pasting.
I'm working on some songs now and don't yet have my interface, but I did all the drums through my computer keyboard. I can even play the synth through it.
