keyboard/synths or midi controller?

[Doc Henny]

Hey yall....I'm havin trouble deciding.....In the end, do u think it's better to have a midi controller w/ nice software or a keyboard/synth like a korg or phantom or somth? I mean, how much better could the patches/quality really be on a synth than on software that you could get?

The sound on a real module or synth is thicker than one in a pc or vsti, so if u looking for that real thick synth sounds it may be beter to get some real hardware.

But u can also layer ur sounds real good and it will be real close to the real thing.. but it's never the same....

Are u interesting in making whole beats on this synth thing or just making beats on the pci and then transporting ur sounds into the computer?

One,

i don't think i would make the whole beat on the synth...id prob transfer it onto my computer for additional inst and drums. As for sounds, i was thinkin more along the lines of good string patches and cool sounds (although thick synth patches would be pretty nice)

Thing is when u record it back into the computer u'll get a (little loss) cus u go from analog to digital, but it isn't that much..

For nice strings u can also try a vsti East West Symphony this has really nice string patches maybe even better then some of the patches on keyboards.. but for thick sounding Synthy patches it may be better to go Analog...or layer em real good..
