Best software for hardware studio?
Hi!
That title may seem strange, but you should easily understand what I'm asking.
Basically, I've collected a few hardware synths over the last 5 years or so, and I love them and don't want to sell them. However, I've so far been making tracks on the Korg Triton's onboard sequencer (!!) and having other synths such as the Roland JP-8000 hooked up to it via MIDI.
However, I'm looking for a software sequencer that is very compatible and friendly with hardware synths. What I assumed I would be able to do would be to set up different patches on multiple MIDI tracks of my hardware synths, and be able to control and sequence for these tracks with the software. I would also be able to add software-synth parts as well, and then use them all together in a final mix - basically it would be a combination of hardware and software, working together. Is this possible with software?
I've tried Cubase SX and found it to have some support for Audio tracks, but this still meant I had to sequence on my hardware synths and then lay the audio on top of an otherwise software composition which is not quite what I'm after.
Sorry if this seems like a very novice thing to ask, but I'm completely new to computer software. I do, however, still have quite a wide knowledge of producing and MIDI connectivity etc. so be as technical as you need to be in your reply.
Any advice on which software would be most suitable for me would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
