the thing is, there's less dropouts when one is doing that above
mentioned audio editing with a hardware synth than there is with
a software one.
I know this only too well. I run a somewhat old yet fast machine, P-III
866 mhz cpu and 512 mb ram.
that's my windblows box, swear swear,

but I still believe there's a market for hardware synths.
you might be going usb or even god forbid firewire although I don't know
why you'd want to.
but there'll be someone out there making the things as long as there's a
sucker out there willing to pay the bucks for one.
