Those are the first statements i've seen from you that i think are true.
However this doesn't prove anything regarding software.

it proves that I have my reasons for liking hardware better, and so do electro musicians.

you guys also just dont know how hardware functions...triggering an arp with an audio signal will give you such different results than using a midi arpeggiator in sx3.

you might not want this difference for most types of music, but for electro you do.

So what?
If i create a song using the pro53 and it sounds good then wtf is the problem.
You're somehow thinking if i use the pro53,which is indeed the same as anybody elses,that the result will be the same as everyone else which is a false assumption.
Look at it this way,it doesn't matter what you use if the end result is great music.

no not at all, you dont understand I listen to plenty of digital music still, but not when it comes to electro.

i mean honestly, I really like that buzz program and it sounds very digital...but i tend to find it like a dirty digital or something...but yeah i wouldnt make proper electro on it. of course one of the reasons i like buzz is cuz its got a tracker right, like the amiga.

So it's a matter of taste,but you're presenting it as the one and only truth which it clearly is not.
I'm pretty sure there are loads of electro making people out there that use software only and you might not even know it lol.

I can't think of any? can you? Especially not any good ones.

To actually post something helpful:

80s Electro (the Hip-Hop kind):
808 for the drums
303 for the bass (any monophonic synth will probably do it).
Kraftwerk twerps
Some nice tinny strings

Electro house:
Vanguard is really good for this genre. It is simple enough to build new sounds while always offering new ones (huge permutation of possible waveforms).

I actually use a Juno-106 for my electro house basslines. Sometimes I'll use a saw or a pulse wave and run it through the II chorus (for that "vintage" sound). At the moment I can't think of any other soft-synths to suggest.

There are loads of people using software in pretty much any electronic genre but somehow you think that it isn't used in your precious electro.

Whatever man,i'm done talking to you.

Originally posted by beats and beeps electro relies and is inspired by the hardware more than any other genre, as such unless you have extensive experience with working with the hardware, it is unlikely that you will create good electro with vsts.

ignorant fuck ... as stated bfore... you dont need hardware to do shit
