That's part of it and it also has a very efficient user interface model
that seems to be intuitive for a lot of people. it's not too "candy" to
be a toy but it's not too hard to be threatening. Although I find that
most people I know who use it do so because someone famous they know
does and they want to make music similar to that person. They often
complain about finding it time consuming to get their head around the
complete system but as they are able to quickly make baby steps that is
a big confidence builder and they feel it is worth the effort to
understand the system if they can get close to emulating their musical
heros.
