While I'm not going to outright disagree with you about software being a better solution, I have always felt more comfortable, more in control, and all around much happier using actual hardware to accomplish things.



I dont have much experience using software past Cubase and have been actively buying up used MIDI gear now that its much cheaper than it used ot be, especially with places like Ebay, but whenever I try to get things done using just software, I feel somewhat detached from the music without having actual keys and knobs and buttons at my disposal.



I can see the great value in software, especially loops and fixing timing issues, but I still get my best work done using only a Silicon Graphics machine with Cubase I found on Ebay, and the actual MIDI hardware.



I have been using MIDI gear for 10 years now, and I'm quite use to it, but software doesnt seem like half the fun of actually creating things.



Its hard to move the mouse around while you're bouncing



Just my 2 cents.
