hmm, maybe that was distasteful. Anyways...my question is basically about how good are soft synths? I have a Yamaha S80..and while I like the sounds...I am certainly not partial to them. Can something like ESX24 from logic give me as good or better piano/bass/string sounds than my S80 can? What about than a Motif 8?
Soft synths seem so much easier to work with and use...and, avoiding the 1/4" outputs of my S80 would be nice. Never really hooked it all up before, so I am just trying to get an idea.
Also, is Gigasampler a softsynth thing? Or is it for arranging? Not quite clear on that. I guess if ESX24 and Giga sound as good as a nice Yamaha synth...then I'll just use it as a keyboard and keep it all in the digital domain.
What does everyone think?
