Agreed about the reluctance to produce hardware synths. My buddy plays a
wind synth and that list is alive with many players who go play in venues
for money with nothing but their wind synth and a laptop (and the house PA).
I remember a time when people would tremble with horror when we mentioned
that we used Cakewalk live to change synth patches on all our equipment.
Everyone was SURE Microsoft Windows would crash. and it did sometimes. But
that was 10 years ago.

I went nuts last week and bought a virtual analog vst plugin. I found some
things were very nice about computer synths, mainly getting all the lfos,
effects, etc to sync with the music.
The VST sounds more like a real analog synthesizer. I personally like the
AN1X sound better, but I haven't explored the VST synth in depth.
I know how to use the ribbon controller on the AN1X which gives it a huge
advantage. I suppose I will have to trudge through the owner's manual and
learn how to use the controller on the VST.
Also, although there are plugin amp simulators, the AN1X through a low watt
tube amp and a 2X12 cabinet is a glorious sound.
Given that the plugin was marked down to $15.00 it's easy to see why
companies might be reluctant to put hardware synths on the market.
