With the amazing quality & versatility of freeware VST's,coupled with the proliferation of PC-ready large LCD TV's...I can't fathom ever buying another hardware synth/workstation!
I have however,pondered the thought of perhaps once again,including a Kurzweil keyboard into my set up,but the lack of PC integration has yet to meet my needs and besides which....I recently discovered that the Orion DAW,supports Kurzweil's K2000 series samples!
To my knowledge,I've never used softsynths that are 10 years old(at least not in their particular version of that time)...but then again,some of the freeware I currently use,could very well be 10 years old,for all I know.
