To me, hard and soft means......
Hard - true analog components, voltage controlled.
Soft - Software based sound (even if its wrapped up in 'hardware knobs and buttons')
My definition encompasses what generates the sound. The Access Virus is a softsynth in my eyes. So to is every digital synth ever made. Softsynth with a 'hardware' interface.
True analog synths represent real hardware. Theres no denying it.

The SynthWizard has some advice - Back in the 1980's music was better, TV was better, films were better. Not to mention fashion.... Let me help you relive the past with some classic 80's sounds from my vintage synth collection....
