GEAR EXPO 2023: Software synthesisers and instruments are the most exciting area of computer music making. This is because, as your computer power has risen over the years, so the sonic muscle of these sound makers has increased. Now you can replace your entire band or orchestra with well chosen software instrument titles. But we've done that choosing for you with our run-down of the best instruments coming out this year.
When it comes to software instruments to use in your music production, you have a huge choice. You can now buy virtual recreations of every instrument in a band - guitars, drums even vocalists - so as a computer musician you can surround yourself with software rather than people! And, of course, when it comes to synths, there's every kind available, from emulations of classics through to all-new software visions of the future.
