Completely right.
I might think he meant the playability of synthesized sounds, like Hammond,
Wurlitzer and such, with the AN1x.
I tried some digital stuff. Well, they sound more naturally, due to the
sample. But you get bored of the same sample all the time, whereas the AN1x
can give more expression, even when sounding not more realistic, like other
vintage-recompilations (organ and electric piano eMUlators) in digital-form.
Of course, a real electric beast cannot be synthesized or digitized, at all.
:-) That's why they have been built so. Big, Heavy and with much electric
circuits. Not to mention the tubes, etc. Rotary Speaker and so on.
