If you can use it awesome for you. For me, neither the ambient nor the available tools in such situation would inspire me to do anything worth my time.However, I made I think all or most of Red October while jumping cities on Swiss and Dutch trains.
Well I have to disagree! I find mass transit is a great environment to shut out the world and make music.

It used to be fine when I was a student and didn't have to travel on commuter services. Now the trains are too packed for me to do anything other than feel anxious/rage.

How do you like the phatboy? Ive been meaning to get one, but getting a v2 here seems pretty hard. Also been considering the doepfer pocket control, but it seems that its not that much room between the knobs.
edit: duh doepfer not kenton

its fine..knobs are a little loose for me, and the cc assignments are fixed so you better have gear that you can change the cc on them with, but it feels as good as any other gear i have, basically like the access virus feels.

the v2. The only difference is the firmware and they ditched that weird eye print on the screen. You will also have to hold snapshot to access modes 4-6.
