I enjoyed your observation.
The better you want your end result to be, the deeper you dive.
We use hardware synths a lot here, FWIW
Softsynth or Hardware; they are all tools in your tool belt.
Both have trade offs, but we wouldn't be able to do what we do here without the hardware synths.



Rharv is right. The more you want a better MIDI sound the more you have to dig into MIDI controls. With a working knowledge of MIDI controls a fair sounding synth can be made into an good sounding synth. On he other hand a very expensive synth playing BiaB MIDI tracks as is may sound bland.

Different strokes for different folks; I have a few hardware synths but I use virtually all soft synths.

My advice is don't go out and purchase a lot of soft synths or hardware synths. Take the SFZ program, or any soft synth that you have, and learn some MIDI controls. Once you have a handle on that then consider purchasing something more expensive. YMMV

When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
