I’m not a keyboard player so I do not use it in performance. I use it in BIAB and a DAW, plus my music notation programs.

I love the convenience of a hardware MIDI synth (except for rendering, which requires playback in real time). But my Roland unit is old, and overkill. If I had to start over, I would go the software route.
