It seems there are so many keyboardists out there using laptops for sounds and effects live that the soft synth market will only grow.



Bill, very few musicians I know have the patience to learn and use soft synths and
arranger software, taking advantage of vst's.


Fran agreed and I'm pne of them. I nowlook back and regret all the time I spent programming instead of advancing my playing. But this discussion is about the future and kids today are much more savvy and not afraid of technology so who knows.
