| Both needed? Don't think so
A lot of you are saying that a studio needs to have hardware AND software synths. I disagree. A studio with hardware only synths would be fine. Ignoring hybrid synths like the Virus and Oasys, if you had just stuff like:
Prophet 5
Minimoog
Moog Modular
Memorymoog
Arp 2500/2600
TR-909, TR-808, TB-303
CS-80
Machinedrum
a few CV sequencers
DX-7
Triton/Kurzweil K2600
etc...
Would it feel 'lacking'? No. I don't think so. Software only might feel lacking, but hardware only... you'd feel just fine!
A guess it's more than a combination is economical, both cost and sizewise, but I don't think that anyone ever went wrong sonically from having a good number of analogue and hardware based synths as opposed to having just a ton of VSTi's.
