This last line is *very* subjective. My personal preference is for hardware
over software anyway. Apart from that there are live concert applications,
plus guitar (or other) processing for say a film score where you don't want
to pass the signal through a computer. As Sebastian pointed out there are
other control applications, I've used a Quadrature Osc. to modulate 4
filters in sequence for example.
Most synthesis is performed via stuff like JV1080, Nord or other sound
modules so why bother taking up panel space with any kind of modular synth.
