I have noticed that whatever MIDI solution we are accustomed to using and hearing becomes something that we like to hear.


What I mean by that is likely to exist in the psychoacoustic domain, but I can remember when the sounds of the VSC did not sound so nice to me.

Then I was kind of forced into using the VSC DXi on my laptop during a time when there was much travel for my day job.

My ears and brain started to get used to the sound of the VSC.

Getting home and switching back to my rack of hardware MIDI solutions, which in almost all cases sound much better than most software synths available, I noticed that I would go through a sort of learning curve involving those sounds. After a session or so with the "other" synth, all sounded better -- or at least it seemed to sound better. In actuality, it is my own hearing system's ability to change and filter that kicks in in these circumstances.

So don't be surprised to find that whatever MIDI solution you pick for your new setup starts to sound better to you as you use BiaB daily.

Within reason, of course...
