this isn't an arguement i've seen yet
just recently, i lost my 1080 (well, i had to give it back..it wasn't mine) along with my atc-1
now, i have reason 2.5, absynth, fm-10, pro 53, and a gang of software synth modules, which i've used here and there
besides latency issues, which do you prefer? the hardware keyboard, or controllin' the software keyboard from a controller keyboard?
easier to program? hw or sw?
better sounds? hw or sw?
best bass module? hw or sw?
add on
