I wonder why that is. In the 1980s we've seen numerous approaches 
towards generating more lively and interesting sounds. In the 1990s all 
these approaches pretty much condensed into "more samples!" and virtual 
analog.

And if I look into today's instrument catalogues, there's hardly a 
machine which really attracts me, yet even makes me drool like certain 
machines in the 1980s.

Maybe it's the mass of users who just set the standards by actively 
denying anything beyond "subtractive ROMpler"?
