I think this is a really sucky direction for synthesis to take, actually.
You can turn on and play a MiniMoog without needing anything else
around. To have to boot up a lumbering behemoth of a PC just to be
able to edit patches, well ... that's just not hardware synthesis.
Hardware synthesis means *nothing* else but what is in front of you
is needed in order to realize the potential of the hardware. At
least, that's what it means to us, anyway ...
