Instruments • Re: Software vs Hardware

Personally, I don’t have any software synths that sound just like my hardware synths. I’d definitely not buy a hardware synth with a great emulation already available.

For drums/percussion, I prefer hardware. There is nothing in software that sounds like my Elektron Rytm.

Someone might argue that software can sound like the Rytm. That may be true-ish in some theoretical sense, but after years of comparison, the results I get on the Rytm have certain qualities that percussion/drums I do in software don't.

I think I'm headed towards either the Analog Rhytm or something like the Perkons HD-01 myself soon. ITB drums are quick and easy but I would love to experiment with analog drums a bit.

Is it the drums themselves or the sequencer you like most on the Elektron? From the brief demos I've heard it does have a certain punch on the kick drum.
