Well, to be honest, if you listen to some of Vangelis' works, like the
'Direct' album, you hear an awful lot of Korg T1 presets, so "it all
sounds the same" may as well pertain to hardware synths.

In the last few years, Ableton Live has made a bit of a name for itself,
and now Akai (!) have made a hardware controller for it, the APC40.

Anyway, I still prefer the immediacy of hardware, but other people
wouldn't want to miss out on the integration and automation that you
have with software synths and effects.

Because, if you're really honest, how easy is it to set up a MIDI
network and keep it working properly? Not easier than software, for sure.
