Nice! Thanks! Yep, I guess they're promoting this seeing that it would be an advantage for them as well - making it easier to reach more devices.
We forgot to talk about tablets and their potential - that will certainly rise - for acting out as synthesizers and what not. Maybe because we feel that the quality doesn't cut it when compared to other solutions, yet. But if this evolves - like it's presumable to do - this can be the answer to our needs. Once again, however, we're talking about super proprietary items here, unless Android or Ubuntu conquers a bright future somehow. There's something to it, though, and most music magazines are paying a lot of attention to it. Some of it is just plain marketing hype of course, but even serious players like Moog have made special products for this new market - and they do sound good and take profit from the technology. Still a long way to go, of course, but it's kind of cool (perhaps nothing more then that XD)...
On another note: do you guys feel that the synthesizers we're currently using will be rendered completely old by more and more improvement on features and specially quality as the processing capacities of newer computers will allow for greater implementation of more demanding features? And holding that thought, that some of the software instruments we use today will be regarded as classics the same way a Mini Moog is today, like vintage synth's website seems to believe by introducing some of them among their hardware cousins?
And how will our Virus (if that's the case eheh) hold up against more capable software synthesizers? I don't mean future incarnations of the Virus (whenever they decide to show up XD) but the current ones we have?
