im corrently runing no hw at all.
I went completly soft few weeks ago and improving the basics of the studio-better soundcard and some basic recording gear.
I am hoping in the near future to have some more GAS budget which will allow me to get one of my dream analog synths or a nice modular system
im a realy square guy when it comes to writing so i couldnt see myself working without midi,i look at it more from the recording aspect then playability.
