That's why so many of those home pianos just have some basic sounds - the rest are a distraction. A "keyboard instrument" usually that's not synth sounds. I like the idea of immediacy but honestly if I'm going to sit down and play it's going to be a basic Piano, Electric Piano, Organ, or similar sound. I think if you need to haul, you're going to have to hook up a trailer to your Charger. They serve different purposes and are designed as such, but there's much crossover between them. I think you're kind of comparing a Car, a Truck, and you want an SUV (or at least an El Camino!). Even things like Bass or Fretless Bass can be tricky - most of them - if they have them at all are very over-produced or only "reminiscent of" and not as good as what most Romplers have. I will say that in general, most VSTs do NOT do "bread and butter" Piano, Woodwind, and so on sounds very well at all (you have to move to dedicated Sample Library stuff for that - which the good ones can't even be touched by a hardware synth). There are all kinds of variations on this theme, some with more of a drum pad approach, etc. My FA has fairly limited DAW functions so I don't even use it. If you're already comfortable with a MIDI + computer rig, the only reason to get a workstation is for portability and the convenience of being able to simply turn it on and play.Ĭlick to expand.Most workstations are coming with more DAW integration than ever before, but usually they don't have the control elements - like maybe only 6 knobs and that's it. That allows possibilities for layering and processing sounds that would be impossible on any workstation. Also, once you've got a MIDI track recorded in your DAW, you can easily run it through any VST and tweak your synth sounds on the fly. A DAW is much more powerful and flexible, and makes it much easier to edit and move things around. I'm looking at the Yamaha MODX boards now.īy the way, for recording there is really no comparison between a DAW with VSTs and a workstation.
However, I am planning to buy a compact synth workstation that I can use as a sound module for when I don't want to fire up the computer rig. In the end, I stuck with a MIDI controller, because I like recording with VSTs in a DAW. I wanted to be able to just sit down, turn on a keyboard, and play.
After years of using a MIDI controller with VSTs, I was getting tired of the hassle of setting up and maintaining that rig.
