No, they ARE musical instruments. And they’re also amazing
accessories for musical instruments.

No; if anything, they're opening the world of music up and
strengthening the role of traditional instruments. Music
connects people, and computers are just another way
of creating that connection.
I'm far from a talented musician. 20 years ago, I'd have
probably given up on music when I started college. I'm a
mediocre musician at best, and college campuses are full
of people who can play piano and bass better than I can.
However, the fact that I can lean on software to help me
compose music has kept me playing both piano and bass.
I'd like to think there are a lot of people on the margins like
me who can stick with music because of the promise that
computers provide.
Yeah, a lot of music these days is generated with software,
but it's a different kind of music. I wouldn't call this a
phase-out of traditional instruments, but an expansion
in the world of art. Some musicians will experiment with
computerized tools and audiences will flock to their concerts
because they like how those songs sound or the message
they convey. Likewise, some musicians will keep playing the
instruments they have always played, and audiences will
flock to their concerts because they like how those songs
sound or the message they convey.
