All,

 some interesting a good responses so far.
some points and comments,

1) Whilst I agree that it's helpfull to know how things that have been work, 
I don't beleive it's essential for making 'progress' or promoting 'new' 
ideas.

2) Analogue, why do people stick with it like a mad thing, ok, yes before 
you shoot me down, it does have a certain sound, but it's not the be-all and 
end-all of synthesis. Also why is it that when people mention the D word 
(digital), most people automatically assume you mean DSP.

3) DSP domain, Rene said there is little that is new, and I agree, but at 
the moment this is mainly down to the act that the development of DSP based 
synths is market driven, and people still seem to want 'old' and less of the 
'new'. And I agree with you Rene, there is a lot more to be done in this 
domain.
For what its worth, I don't beleive emulation of old technology and methods 
is a good thing for DSP. You'll never get a clone of a synth on DSP that 
sounds the same as the original, you'll get close, but it'll never sound 
identical.
I think it's ironic that the thing 'pushing' the DSP market is also the 
thing people critisize it for.

Personally, I don't mind how a pleasing synth tone is generated, as long as 
it's pleasing.

Analysis is good, yes, but having been sat on this list 'reading' for a 
couple of months, I see little 'evolution' from when I was subscribed a year 
ago, 2 years ago, or even n years ago (n was a very very long time ago)..

I appreciate that this is question I've asked many times, and to date, I've 
never had an answer that 'sat' well in my mind.

Maybe I'm just odd?
