I would suggest a Yamaha DM2000. It's more expensive, but well worth the difference as far as DSP, user interface and input options go. And it integrates well...

... Well in theory there is. I have always seen the parallels in photography and sound design. In fact after reading many articles with Wim Wenders and Murch...
