All you guys talking about VST's are forgetting about hardware. There's many people who don't use software for sound period. I have a Roland Sonic Cell plus my Kurzweil PC3. I don't need no stinkin VST's.

I know for a fact that there are lots of folks who use the Ketron SD2 which also sounds great. Trust me on this, check out the many vids of those hardware synths, they all sound awesome.

I know folks on this forum who have Yamaha Motif's, Roland Fantoms, my PC3, one guy has a Tyros 4 a killer keyboard with truly awesome sounds and others.

As far as midi is concerned if you're using hardware synths it's instant gratification regardless of ram and nobody cares if it's 64 bit or not.

VST's are not the only game in town.
