If you perform live, then external gear might be the preferred choice because they • have zero boot time • are easy to transport • don’t require a heavy monitor on stage and • have a built-in keyboard (no need to mess with MIDI connections) More and more artists have started to use computers with AUs or VST instruments on stage though. After all, a monitor might look quite cool or a small laptop might even be hard to recognize.
