No matter subject people will debate on it. So now the computer who knows it can be use for many many things. So asked if it could be an instrument are we really talkin bout the computer itself or the program/software?!

Well that's sort of the chicken and the egg theory. You can't have one without the other. A computer is worthless in terms of making music without the software, and the software is useless without a computer to run it. So I guess we're talking about the combination of the two as one device.

Whether people choose to play a traditional instrument or produce it digitally is their own decision, great music can be made by both.
