It’s just a lot easier to work with a physical analog control interface than it is with a mouse and software. Bitwig is very strong for sequencing and arranging relative to Ardour but I find Bitwig a lot more complicated to set up and use - and given the really limited time I have to play right now due to other stuff, being able to sit down and make noise at a moment’s notice would be ideal. One of these days I’m going to get something really nice like that SH 4d just for the fun of it - I was watching the demo video and the way the controls switch function depending on the selection is very cool - it looks like a great piece of gear.
