software hardware issue

are we not all aware that all the hardware machines out
there these days(for the most part) have internal software
running them? i mean obviously the machine is nothing
without the software inside it. unless youre speaking
completely anolog. so taking this into consideration you
have to

COMPARE COMPUTERS TO MACHINES SUCH AS THE MC505
and dumb crap like that.

the computer has MUCH more memory,

you can add a sound card with multiple outputs, i

ts cheaper,

has sampling,

add an external midi controller with knobs if you want to
controll something on the screen.

it does everything and more.
the only valid debate ive heard is the comparison of analog
quality output compared to the computers output. but have
we all forgotten that its not the sound that really matters
but the quality of the song? you ever notice all the old
records you listen to sound like crap but you still love
them?

BUT MY MAIN POINT IS all these hardware machines you love so
much are just smaller computers with software inside. dont
you get that? it doesnt take an idiot to understand it.
unless youre running analog equipment youre just one of us
software junkies.

...totally...about the only thing you need to buy is a
keyboard and a midi controller...so you can tweak da knobs
in a funner fashion (lol)

yeah, a long time ago, i realized i wouldnt be able to make
my music just using hardware, cuz its to fast and
complicated really. but i guess, hardware come in handy when
creating sounds.

hardware like the mc505 are more than often anolog thus
their output is alot fatter than the computers binary
interpretation!
the "dumb hardware" that you mentioned may have little
memory but surely you could use it as a sound module using a
software sequencer??

why would you want to use the same sounds every other wanker
out there has? the mc505 is a dying machine in my mind.
ESPECIALLY the drum sounds. horrid. the synths and such
are still usable.
