Dan and Chris, I also have the same line up of VST's.. and yes "velvet" is my favorite for EP's.. DB-33 is also great, although I prefer the old NI B4.
Although I like my Code61 … a lot.. It is nicer to have my G70 keys and range to play VST's, within MixCraft 8.
And why not use a dedicated arranger keyboard of the G70 quality to do so?
For me, it is much faster to work on hardware.. less chance of losing my train of thought.
Having another hardware piece, Integra7, interfaced with my DAW, adds much to my set up..
That is two hardware units I don't want to give up.., and they work well with my DAWs..
