I had an Alesis Andromeda
In the ’90s, I wanted to start a business with my analogue collection, called “Hire Synth”. I was about to approach my first potential client, the keyboard player of D’Ream (not sure what happened to him, probably gone back to school and qualified up and making a name for himself on obscure television shows). Unfortunately the time I was supposed to meet him I wangled an invitation for him to a ‘special’ party, but I got what was to turn out later to be a terrible virus of a flu-like characteristic, but on that night manifested itself in a delirium, so I was horribly late and when I did turn up I must’ve appeared to be in a stupefied daze and unreasonably refused to sell any of my synths, instead offering to hire them only. On the other hand it was a party put on by the adult entertainment industry (not that there was any of that going on at the party, it was just that the people were from that occupation) (and being that I was the art editor of a well known porn mag at the time). So it probably wasn’t too much of a bore for him to be let down by me in such circumstances. I don’t know. If you’re reading, sorry ’bout that.
Synths and porn have a lot in common
Agreed.

Wow. Just wow.
The Missus is off to California for a week and I'm really trying to imagine what she'd make of the bedroom done like this by the time she gets back...
It’d be a nightmare to dust. It’s also not a very well designed studio — there aren’t many places to put coasters down, for tea and coffee.
I sold Moby his Yamaha SY 85
And RZA his Ensiniq ASR16. The same one he used on 36 chambers
Run. She would run very quickly if she has ever seen Demon Seed.
No shit?
As time goes on, there is a part of me that remains fascinated with the actual physical hardware, but there is also a part of me that becomes less and less interested in it, because of how far we have come with software instruments. A little background history....I had a little basement project recording studio back at the end of the 90s/early 2000s. I was single at the time, and could spend the whole day in there tweaking and playing with gear. A typical process would involve 40-60 minutes of cord patching, adjusting and configuring pots, sliders and microphones, troubleshooting and dealing with misc problems., etc and an hour or two of playing.
Flash forward to now. I'm married, have a professional career, have three kids, and can't even go to the bathroom for 10 minutes alone without someone banging on the door. What little time I have to do any actual music, is when everyone is in bed and asleep. By then, I'm usually exhausted and want to sleep too....and if not, more often than not, I'm frequenting these (and other) forums. Hehehe!!
Hardware synths only sound good, if you take really good care of them and have them serviced regularly (this can be expensive). Otherwise, quality software synths run through proper converters are just as good for about 90-95% of all practical uses. Second, Digital and Analog are just sound flavors for an audio palette. Some people swear that nothing sounds better than analog. I used to believe this too. However, again, it has a lot to do with the sound palette you are seeking, and how well taken care of your analog instruments are. At this point, I would be willing to trade my Roland JX-8P analog synthesizer for UHE's Diva soft synth (know anyone who wants to make the trade?). Why? Because to me, it sounds at least as good (if not better), has a greater sonic palette, and takes up a LOT less space, is easier to use and requires less servicing.
A quality midi keyboard controller covers the tactile button, slider, knob need as well when using Diva. 
I guess, to get to the point, I will always love hardware synths for their aesthetic beauty and beautiful sound--they really are wonderful works of art, and there are several synth demos on youtube by regular posters like SynthMania or RetroSound that really, really show what these synths are capable of when put through the right paces. But for me, a middle-aged man with little to no time, who has used hardware synths and software synths and experienced the positives and negatives of both, I will continue to stick with my iPhone 6 Plus and software synths, which allow me to tap a button and be instantly writing music with synth sound quality nearly as good as hardware, and allow me to do it from anywhere I want.
