Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Really? So the way you guys deal with it is by keeping them 
separate? What if Evo is the only real analog piece of gear you 
own(like me)? That's interesting. I don't know, I think there has to 
be a way of assimilating both into the same piece of music. I 
have this cd by Red Shift and on it they mention using digital and 
analog synths so I'm assuming they're able to do it somehow. 
But maybe they're using the analog stuff for more of those basic, 
bread and butter kinds of sounds. Like I said, when I use 
basses, leads, and traditional sounding pads I don't have any 
problem mixing the two. It's when I get into complicated, evolving 
drones and sequences, that's when the sounds really sticks out.
For example, that video clip of Dave Smith playing the 
"experimental" patch. I bet something like that would be hard to 
mix with virtual analog and soft synth sounds, even something 
like Absynth.
