Members Jimmyzegg Posted June 18, 2004 Members Share Posted June 18, 2004 I think you're overestimating the popularity of software vs. hardware. Yes, software is great, compact, cheaper, and has several advantages. But there will always be a need for hardware. Whether it be for easier accessibility of parameters or for people that are gigging, there are tons of people that still prefer hardware. And companies like Korg, Roland, and Yamaha will continue to make money from Tritons, Fantoms, and Motifs. Also, the software market is a little flooded in some areas. There is a lot of software out there, but a lot of it is just rehash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Synthoid Posted June 18, 2004 Members Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hardware doesn't exist anymore? Hmmm.....last time I was at Sam Ash and Guitar Center, there were plenty of keyboards! Not sure what to expect from the "big three," but they still are very much alive and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Synthoid Posted June 18, 2004 Members Share Posted June 18, 2004 What's that? It takes 16 hours to install & configure Windows? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
