The sounds I found from the Juno-60 were precisely because I could touch the knobs and change the color of the sonics in a very short period of time. Also you just don't know what the sound will be when you turn certain knobs. With that said, I also am using the soft synths a lot. Very big fan of the sounds I am getting from Reason's Subtractor module. It is hard to tweak it in one session, so what I do is build a Subtractor sound save it then come back to it that day or weeks later and keep building on it. It's changed my process of sonic creation but the resulting compositions are worth the non tactile nature of soft synths. It's worth note that after I create a part / track with a soft synth it is rendered and put in a multitrack program with effects -some are plug in some are outboard- and I am able to get an organic sound with the multiple layers of processing and mixing each part will go through. In other words the end piece has many stages from the soft synth and I believe it helps my works sound a little less soft synthy He is right about the need for immediate response when turning the knobs and dials.
