Synthesizer as against midis and add ons ... etc? | Software and Synths | Forum

Technical people and those with some know-how are good with technical stuff. Say you are a dummy but a musician, and you like to play your songs, but you do not have a band, nor do your guitar friends want to "waste" their time "trying" out your songs, nor do you have a drummer? What do you do? You buy a Synthesizer which does it all. The initial cost is cheaper than a full set up of all the other gadget-matics that you must master before you can even get started? You can then play immediately, i.e. the moment it is delivered to your doorstep. Then you want to computerise it? You install the software. That's only if you want to go public? Otherwise home and company and personal entertainment, parties with family, the avenues for expressionism are unlimited. I vote for Synthesizers. Since most of the above is a "fit!" What is yours? And why?
