Hi!
i just wanted your opinions on this topic. Are there any major differences between the two, and is it worth the money?
I´ve been using RTAS plugin synths like Omnisphere, Synplant, Xpand 2 etc. for a while now, but after listening to some demos of the Korg Krome 61, Korg Kronos 61, Roland Fantom G6/G8, Jupiter 50/80 and Yamaha Motif XF6/7/8, i gotta say i am pretty impressed. I just find that the hardware synths have much more depth and richness to the sound, compared to multi-synths like Xpand 2 and Omnisphere.
That´s off course listening to demos on youtube, i haven´t tried one my self. I am really torn on this, cuz i know alot of producers are very much in the box these days, using various plugins, but some still use these hardware synths.
Also, i running PT LE 8 with an Mbox 2 Mini. How do you guys figure a Yamaha Motif XF6 for instance would mesh with that? If i record through the audio-outputs it might reduce the quality right?, but if i go MIDI-out it should stay the same or what?
