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.

Sorry folks...didn't mean to post this twice.

It doesn't matter how bad the Casio's on-board sounds are if you're not going to use them.

It does matter if the keyboard feels cheesy, isn't velocity-sensitive (meaning all notes you record in a sequencer will come out with the same volume -- no dynamics), or otherwise inhibits your playing.

Agreed.
Think of it as just a simple controller.
