The hardware exists solely to control the software and the a/d/a circuitry might color the sound, perhaps, but I'd be shocked if anything Novation makes has any sound capabilities that come from anything other than a software routine. |
Thanks. I'm well aware of the differences between an all analog synth (of which they're are not very man new ones around) and a digital hardware synth.
I guess I interpreted what he wrote incorrectly. The unit can act as an audio card and also has USB on it, so I (perhaps wrongly) assumed that he meant this was merely acting as a controller of sorts as opposed to actually generating sound within the unit via DSP.
No biggie.
