Their modernized features allow them to do things that hardware synths - especially classic ones - might not have been able to do. But primarily, it’s a question of practicality: even something as simple as modulating a filter cutoff isn’t easily done in real-time when you’re playing. DAW automation, however, means that almost anything is possible.\n                    \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp class=\"quote\">With hardware synths you would have to manually automate, which is cool - but with the use of a plugin, it’s easier for me to just automate the cutoff.\n                    \u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\u003Cp>While starting from scratch and forging your own sound is part of the creative experience, there’s something to be said for having pre-made sounds to accelerate your workflow.
