<p>The heavy lifting is always in actually modelling some real or
abstract thing, with what ever your favourite clay is. <br>

<p><br>
</p>
<p>Whether it's code, transistors, 2164s, steam powered turing
machines ... <br>

<p>As you say, understanding what you want to do is the important
bit. <br>

The problem lies more with knowing how that sound was created in
the first place. All these old designs often tended to rely on
odd parameters, often unspecified, of the components that you
just wouldn't do nowadays as high quality components are so much
cheaper.</div>

An extreme case, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some old
product out there that relies on the non-linearity of a 10%
carbon resistor :-)<br>

<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span

<div class="PlainText">So I remember a time a few years in
the past when people were really<br>
upset that OTAs were being discontinued, because they were
apparently<br>
the only way to build some things with voltage control. I
don't know<br>
if those have been fully replaced with VCAs in their role.<br>
<br>
Here's another thought. Replacing a resistor with a
semiconductor<br>
doesn't just add resistance, it can also add capacitance.
Maybe that<br>
changes things. Also, now the item is ever so slightly non
linear<br>
rather than being linear. That's another thing.<br>
<br>
All three of those things seem like they could cause
either issues (eg<br>
capacitance somewhere makes a thing just not work at all)
or could<br>
change the sound. But I don't have any concrete examples,
so I'm<br>
hoping this will jog someone's memory.<br>
