ok...I'm curious , I currently have a rack of samplers and synths, a carry over from my midi days... (aka 5000, Roland 550) and more.
I'm curious to know since the computers are getting far more powerful, and the vst's are getting so good , who has migrated to vst solutions and has abandoned hardware synth all together...?
This is coming from my deep dive in Studio One and working with MAI THAI synth and presence XT.
I'm starting to question the value of hardware solutions in My rack ... Yes my sample solutions for the hardware synth are pretty big (1300+ samples for the Roland alone, I've lost count of the Akai samples).
So at this point, the value I see is that I can offload sample processing to hardware with the Akai's. To unburden the processor in the computer.. and I can leverage the analog filtering in the Akai's ...
Anyhow, who's gone all out with vst synth and abandoned their hardware? Is there anything you miss?
Thanks
