Fun you mention this..  what I especially like about my TSR24S and 
Vortex is the envelope followers, allowing me to dynamically vary tone 
and expression with playing style. While I like having both PC and CC 
buttons laid out for selection, this lets me focus on actually playing.
The last thing I want is a mashine taking over my playing..
