10. Summary
Simplify your life as a musician. Modern hardawre controllers should achieve a simplified workflow within a computer-based studio or stage environment. This means mental and spatial concentration on a single controller for as many hardware and software instruments as possible within a studio. Of course, you must realise that using a controller requires some getting used to and that users have to learn to find their way around it once it has been acquired.
Hoewever, once this hurdle has been taken, volumes can be more precisely set, sound selection and changes can proceed more smoothly, and the creative element is given a completely new dynamism. If you're tired of always finding yourself just on the cusp of acute tenosynovitis or repetitive strain injury while moving the computer mouse around, a hardware controller may be the solution for you. An enormous range of controller hardware is already available, and everyone should be able to find the device of their dreams.
