Yeah, I don’t get most of these plug-in companies. They require an internet connection to work. I love using software synths, but knowing that any time from next week to next decade I won’t be able to reproduce the sounds I’m using to record my songs scares the hell out of me. With a hardware synth, I can at least have the ability to back up the sounds and buy another instrument if the current one dies. I can literally use the same sounds I made in the 80s on many different synths (Rolands, Yamahas, etc.). That’s worth a lot to me.
