I had an OP-1 for a number of years but I could never progress beyond 2-4 bar loops. When I bought my Deluge I made a full track in my first two hours with it, and I was pretty proud of it. I own a number of groove boxes now, but have only ever managed to completed tracks on my Deluge.
I've always had an issue with the "people should buy ugly food" argument. It strikes me as being somewhat elitist, and I have my doubts that the people making this argument actually follow through themselves and pick the ugly food at the supermarket, or really know if actually makes any difference.
I feel like I am doing the right thing by buying fruit and vegetables instead of processed food. Do I now need to make further consideration and question the impact of my choices because I am ignoring the ugly apples? Humans developed a highly sophisticated discernment of fruit quality for a reason.
