What’s The Point Of A Digital Hardware Synth?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So right off the bat I’m new to hardware (always only used software before). And so this is coming fully from a humble place of curiosity and lack of understanding, not challenging anyone.</p> <p>I just bought my first analogue synth (prophet 6) and right off the bat the difference between it and any plug-in I’ve ever used is very apparent. </p> <p>Anyway, I guess I’m wondering what the point of digital hardware synth is, because can’t all of it be replicated in the box as a plug-in? And then it’s a lot cheaper? </p> <p>With today’s processing power and plug-in availability, what sets a hardware digital synth apart enough to buy it instead of using a plug-in? Are there some digital synths that can’t be replicated as plugins? If so, why? </p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to educate me
