I would think it does as that has been one of the biggest hurdles for me heading to software; the feeling that I need to define what I want to do before I begin has really stalled my progress. Usually I'm a plug in and go sort of player but all the options available in software make me feel less able to do that. That and configuring midi. But software is the future for me one way or another I think.
