<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There is some merit to having hardware because of
the front end, and op amps of those old synths which was part of the sound, but
when you factor in the noise, and maintanance,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>there are lots of ways we can get coloration and
harmonics, and when you can just grab an instance of a vst and use it anyway you
like with a consistance interface and all the tools we have for access now, hsc,
ahk, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>reaper and sonar's parameter lists of showing
automated parms, then it's no contest.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Tre, when you get more advanced and further along
in your musical journey, you'll see what we mean.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If you have one synth you just like and are happy
to get around on it because you know the buttons, that's one thing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But imagine having 10 or 20 of them, all with
different interfaces, all having to be patched in to your daw,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>you'd need a 32 channel board, and imagine having
to keep up with all those old formats, floppy disks, scsi maybe
even,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>saving vst presets is so easy with fxp and
fxb,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>ok, it's not the purist route, but for 99.9 percent
of the working studio world, it gets the job done.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>The vast majority of hardware doesn't even come close to
current VST plugs<BR>and libraries, most only use them for gigging nowadays,
so I totally<BR>disagree with that. As for saying it would be easier, how is
it easier?...<BR>Cheers Steve.<BR>Visit:<BR><A
