Time Bandits

I use softsynths quite frequently in my recordings. Believe it or not, I have done it with the piano roll feature exclusively up til now. I was looking into buying a hard synth, but someone just gave me a fairly jacked Casio CTK-451. It has built in speakers and sounds like crap, but it has midi out. If I only use the soft snyth sounds, does it matter how much the hard synth blows? Just to make this clear: I am not recording with the sounds of the hard synth. I just want to use it because it is easier than writing parts with piano roll.

The whoel purpose of using midi si to get the better sounds you want anytime. If you think your casio sounds like crap trigger the softsynth. If you dont liek it get a soundmodule and use that. As ong as you have midi data you can trigger any sounds that you like and keep your music sounding good.
