I see .

A software synth is intrigueing I must admit since I can still use a real keyboard and with it being on a PC CD Burning is right in the same machine ( the PC ) .

I suppose a software synth may not have many if any presets though if they can easily upload sample libaries then that shouldn't be a problem .

Can a software synth upload all commercially available sample libaries or just specific types ?

Could a finished song with vocals ever be made with a software synth ?

Live performing is not something I would be concerned about .
