RE: [microsound] intuos3 vs bamboo
I have some experience in using both a Wacom Bamboo tablet and a much more expensive, larger tablet belonging to a graphic designer friend, and while both work quite well with the CNMAT external in Max, the pressure sensitivity of the Bamboo is one thing that lets it down. Although there are indeed 512 levels of pressure sensing, in practice these seem quite inconsistent. The surface of the tablet is also a little scratchy for my liking, certainly compared to the more expensive model. Despite these niggles, because of its price (about £70-80 here in the UK) an portability, the Bamboo remains quite an attractive proposition.
