I kind of find it funny that DAW users would go to the trouble of buying hardware gear for use in a DAW environment - to me things like maschine and push give the tactile feel of hardware, but without the sound limitations, and clutter that hardware sequencers and drum machines bring.
Seriously, if I was happy making music with a DAW Iād absolutely have no dedicated hardware synths, because to me they would be a pointless and unnecessary expense, Iām fully aware of the capabilities of modern software and in almost every scenario a DAW and software instruments are going to blow away any dedicated hardware synth or drum machine in sound, features, integration, cost, space, hassle, cables and other accessories required and so on.
But of course this is just my opinion and people have their own reasons for choosing their set up, although if I was waiting on Overbridge as a key reason for buying an Elektron instrument Iām afraid Iād have moved on by now, really there is nothing unique about Elektron gear that cannot be done better using software, parameter locks, sequencing, sounds, fx, you name it.
Obviously I love Elektron gear, but that is precisely because - for me - it is a very good alternative to using a DAW, albeit less powerful and more expensive
I am also ignoring the fact that DAW or DAWless we are all victims of GAS and sometimes buying gear that we justify to ourselves for often irrational reasons, blinkenlights and so on.
