But you ALWAYS need more cowbell! The famous Bruce Dickinson (yes, THE Bruce Dickinson!) said so

as a pilot he should pay more attention to radar!

There is even a dedicated button to generate a baseline.

Yes, and a handy snowflake button to freeze your current track in the DAW, to save on CPU.

great band name (can i use it?) - 'handy snowflake'....

Sure!

That's all up to you and what sound you assign to the button. It could play the sound of a Freightliner diesel truck's air horn, the sound of a vintage AirChime™ model H5 train horn (look it up), an air raid klaxon, a legion of cowbells all playing in unison, or the gentle sound of fallen maple leaves rustling on a crisp and breezy autumn afternoon. It's all up to you.

That's way too many choices, in fact any choice that isn't this is not a real choice:

You could always be a successful recording act, and just not tour. Think of The Alan Parsons Project, or the latter days of The Beatles, or any of a number of current Hollywood film composers.

This is a medical instrument control panel, which connects via USB:

Just relabel the buttons, add a few mod wheels, and a long horizontal ribbon controller at the bottom, and it would make an awesome VSTi controller!

If the "sound" button produces anything else than airhorn, I will be very disappointed

I suppose I don't have to ask what the "finger" buttons do? I wonder if both ever get pressed at the same time?

Ah, I see, this is just like MassiveX, so confusing. I thought that they were associated with the attack phase, but no, they're all about the release?

They raise your audience hands up - but, to counter the blatant EDM vibe, pressing down both at the same time will actually do this:

I have an extraordinary airhorn, for some definition of "air."

Is it like that particular kind of flute?

Pretty much, yes.
