I do however love the mixer envelope which could be implemented without a joystick. The great thing on the VS and Wavestation was this four input mixer that you used the envelope to pan around on. I hardly ever touched the joystick but pretty much every patch had the mixer envelope going. This feature was one of the main reasons I picked up an Origin as I was hoping to get the VS type sounds out of it since it had the mixer and the waveforms but I just didn’t get on well enough with it to justify keeping it for that. Not that my recommendations mean anything but an interface that had this vector mixing with envelope but not necessarily the stick itself would be satisfactory for most cases and far simpler that a dedicated recording stick – as cool as that would be.</span></font></p>
