Why can't synths be fully emulated in software?
- ris 4y agoThey more or less can, but people like the physical gear for the "feels" (see also: vintage guitars and valve amps). It's increasingly absurd given that more and more synth modules are almost entirely digital and microcontroller-based. I find it hard to have a lot of sympathy here.
- odiroot 4y agoThey can, they are and in most cases it's enough. But it's more about the user experience. Hardware is more immediate.
- substation13 4y agoWhat about a physical interface that can control any software synth?
- odiroot 4y agoWell, there's a lot of MIDI controllers that can approximate that. I use AKAI MPK Mini for example. There's even some dedicated MIDI controllers that look a bit like miniature hardware synth, but they're not worth it, in my opinion. Usually costing around a price of a real synth.
