Time for virtual synth to rise and shine again? So far I feel like softsynths sound amazing, but the hapric of a real device with knobs makes a huge difference in using it.

Now, I wonder if it's time someone comes up with a fundamental different interface approach for a soft synth that lowers this creative barrier.



These are some pretty great soft-synths worth checking out:
