Even if you have to hands, you can do nice live music. I saw Klaus Schulze playing a CS80 with two hands. And no backing tape. Just playing a single sound. I still got the recording from this. This was real live. But then he and Rainer Bloss started to play some "Ampsy" tracks with just some sound effects being live.

And by the way:
there thousends of profesional and amateur piano players doing concerts with two hands. ;)


Yep but I mean this is also possible with software and a midi-keyboard attached to an pc ;)

I still not see the difference between hardware or software.

Imagine an opera with lots of vst's and computers alone. Computers can do anything except being lively on stage and give the audience the excitement that people and physical instruments can do. If you do see this, then stop debating.

Computers shouldn't be seen clearly on stage. The audience wants the musician to see working/moving etc. This will be easier with physical instruments than with software based instruments however good they sound. That's my Jarre did Oxygene 2007 and lots of people are excited about this DVD.

this dscussion is going to the wrong direction.
less and less hardware is being sold, and why?
because young people like dj,ing and don`t want to master an instrument (which is very boring)
and when compagnies don`t sell all those things they stop produce them and when they are clever they make something that does sell.
it`s as simple as that.

and that`s why I said in another thread things about the end of hardware.
(I spoke to the owner of a big music store in Grunn and he told me that the gear I like is a very bad selling point)

and no-one complains about it do they

tbh, in my experience, most audience members have no comprehension of what does what, all they care about is that it sounds good and they can see someone doing something to produce it live
