Most hardware synths are going to do more than just play samples, though. Is there a particular sound you're hoping to make?
There are two goals, really. Thank you for asking.
Right now I will encounter songs without vocals on the Internet, usually they are electronica, dubstep, chillstep, whatever. I fall in love with the song and try to contact the creator to see if I can license it in Cyberganked. This has become expensive if you take what I have paid and think of it as a lump sum. It's not THAT bad when spread out over 6 years and counting.
I can recognize that some of it has very easy chord patterns. I can make songs like that, I believe. From a joyless, robotic sense, I can intellectually play chords, tweak the virtual instruments and make a three minute track of something that would be OK in the background of a game. If I can do that then the cost per minute of song goes to nothing. I don't think this process creates better songs than talented people who are doing it now, but sometimes it is OK to have background music. The hardware synthesizer piece to this is very interesting to me because it's a piece of technology to learn and experience.
The other thing I want to do is lay down a drum track, bass line and keyboard track for songs that exist in my head. A friend of mine in our college band moved to Colorado, so I can easily drive to his place and record his saxophone part on it. Another friend lives in Kansas and is all-in on this virtual music stuff. He plays guitar. Once all that is done, we convince our vocalist to sing on them and we have another record after a brief 20 year hiatus.
