noob question : software-based vs. Virus TI

[koenraad_ecker]

Hi,

this is probably a dumb question, but i'm going to ask it anyway... What are the advantages/disadvantages of a mac with software like reaktor and a midi controller versus using a Virus Ti? It's for live use and for weird effects (think of devine's aleamapper sound or the atomizer stuff), rather than making dance music at home or something.

thanks!!!
