It seems to me that hardware synths are like vinyls - people buy them because of connotations, a certain image. In almost all terms software is unquestionably better. And if you want to be a "quirky artsy synthesizer person", don't buy into this hardware shit, just download SunVox or Pure Data.
- slater- 4y agosome people do, for sure. but i've gotten so much mileage out my Moog because of its knob twiddling interface. i hate using software, it doesn't inspire me to play in the same way. i appreciate the tactile sense and also the limitations of a piece of physical gear. but also it makes me look quirky and artsy.
- chuchana 4y agoDepends on your definition of "better". Having dedicated controls can make a huge difference, having limited possibilities, too. If you know what you want and how to get it, both those points are probably much less important than when you are getting started. Of course you could also design your ideal environment including controls, but that's still one more thing to do before you get started.
