Door number three.  But not all.  What bothers comp.music
hardliners is the 'should I buy a [Brand X] or a [Brand Y]
synth?' or 'I think [computer X] is better for synth sequencing than
[computer Y] because [computer X] brand stuff is cool.'

Technical discussions of 'are there reasonable alternatives to
[transformation X] methods which produce [Y] without [Z]
problems?' are probably right down the line of comp.music intent.

Cheers,
