With the Fantom, I don't feel like I need or want a DAW, but I do want a DX7.Īlso, the Arturia collection has lots of other great synths including the Jupiter 8, Synclavier, Moog, Oberheim, etc. It is a collection of VST's of very popular instruments that can run as standalone products and don't require a DAW. The Arturia collection at half off is very tempting. So I am left with the dilemma: get Dexed or Arturia and buy a synth action controller and have to run everything through a computer, or save that money and put it towards a PC4. I recently discovered the Kurzweil PC4-7 and it adds everything I am currently missing and wanting on my Fantom 8 (and a lot more that I wasn't looking for and maybe don't care about): A synth action keyboard with Aftertouch and a multi-timbre DX7. The reason I haven't installed either yet is because I was hoping for a hardware solution and figured that once I got the software working, I wouldn't have as much need for a hardware solution. I want multi-timbre DX7 capability (like owning multiple DX7's) and supposedly the Arturia one can do this by running more than one instance. The Arturia collection includes a fantastic DX7 emulator. I have been very badly wanting a DX7 equivalent for those 80's FM sounds and have been looking at options.
