WHY? (was Re: [sdiy] ... Simulating a Moog)

>Is everyone here TRULY happy with the standard VCO->VCF->VCA combination?

I can't speak for everyone here, only myself, but yes - quite happy.  I love innovation as much as anybody, but it's a matter of perception of what the synthesizer is to an individual.

If one views the synthesizer as a whiz-bang box that must produce a uniquely different sound for every musical part it's ever destined to play, then the VCO->VCF->VCA combo would wear thin pretty quick (not as quick as it should in most cases, but that's another subject).

If one views the synthesizer as a musical instrument, then it is quite satisfactory.  After all, I doubt there are many cello players out there wondering why the cello development process is so damned stagnant.....

Don't take me for a Luddite, Paul - I love to see new ground being broken.  You're making tomorrow's 'vintage' =0)

My hai dong,
Scott
