This is an old revision of the document!
Gear comes in different varieties. Some of the gear I have access to are physical units, other gear is software.
I just found myself getting a great deal on a Korg M1R, even-though I already have a paid version of the Korg iM1 iPad software, which includes a virtual version of all the available upgrade cards. I have not yet purchased the upgrades that include the T1 cards. Does the M1R sound any different than the software? This is one of the many things to explore.
I also buy a lot of sound samples for some of my instruments. So this only expands the number of sounds that I have available to use. And I am always producing new sounds, further expanding the sounds present in my gallery.
Because of the shear variety and volume of these devices, they are listed in their own section
