However, sometimes I wish I could tweak a kick or snare which just isn't 'doing it for me'. Also, I tend to use realistic-sounding instruments (piano, bass, drums, etc.) rather than synthy stuff, so I don't often think about changing the sounds. I haven't been tweaking sounds on the Triton, mostly because they are not saved via the SYSX I'm using, and cannot be saved with each project. If you are just using samples or built in sounds that may not matter much Managing the Triton's effects is a pain (since it needs to be done via the touch screen rather than the computer), but I use SYSX to save them with each project it's cumbersome, but I am used to it by now. Yes! I started a few songs with the Triton's sequencer but then finished them in Sonar, and have stuck with Sonar for sequencing ever since. is a good deal more tedious than doing that on a computerized DAW I'm curious:Д«ut I suspect you have already found that using the built-in sequencer etc.

I'm sure many of you have gone through a similar 'pros and cons' list when contemplating a switch from hardware to software synths. This would compel me to buy or search for more soft synths, which can be a huge time sink. The soft synths included with Sonar might not sound as good (to my ears) as the Triton. I'd need to keep track of which soft synths I use in each project, so that I don't uninstall ones I've used. If if they work, software updates might cause them to sound different. Today's soft synths might not work in a future version of Sonar or Windows.

I have to learn how to use each soft synth, whereas I already know how to use the Triton. My music computer is at least 5 years old, so the CPU starts suffering with lots of soft synths. Their sounds might already be better than the Triton's. Soft synths' sounds will improve in quality and variety over the years, while the Triton's sounds are pretty much static. I can change and automate soft synths' effects (and sounds) more easily than the Triton's. They also let me share projects with other people (for remixing, etc.). Soft synths let me edit projects on both my laptop and desktop (without lugging the Triton around).

If/when the computer dies, I can reinstall the soft synths on another computer. If/when the Triton dies, I can replace it with a cheap MIDI controller (rather than another Triton). The Triton acts as both my MIDI controller and my sound and effects module I don't use any soft synths.ДЇor various reasons (moving to a place where Tritons are rare, upgrading from Studio to Producer, etc.) I've started thinking about switching to soft synths. I've been using my Korg Triton (keyboard workstation) with Cakewalk/Sonar since 2000 (10 years). Soft Synths vs Hardware (Triton) - Pros and Cons? Note: This topic mentions the Korg Triton, but applies to any hardware synth.
