So far, I've avoided the plug-in synth thing entirely.

I have good ol' hardware synths. A couple of the older ones have been working since Windows 3.1 and Mac OS6 (System 6).

They do not need new drivers or anything when Windows upgrades, they still work when Apple abandons everything old, they all have about 5ms latency (none for all practical purposes), I can mix and match sounds from the different modules, and they don't tax the CPU of my computer.

I have many thousands of sounds to choose from, and they are ultra reliable.

I see no reason to switch to soft synths right now. Perhaps in the future? Time will tell.
