Wow!!!...that's a bold statement!!! I guess all those theoretical

Its more likely that maths has many times more secrets left than we have
already discovered/invented. The limitation is not what's out there, but the
size of our brains and the current norms of thinking.

So now we have modelling effects, but after that? I couldn't possibly tell.
More modularity, more combining of existing techniques into unusual
combinations... or perhaps someone will come up with something totally new,
or the Theory of Everything, for that matter.

There are still many know mechanisms to explore in the creation of synthetic
sound. Like maths and the size of our brains, the real limitation is not
what's there to be discovered....but the processing power required to
realise it.
For this reason alone; hardware based synths (i.e specialised computers as
opposed to general purpose PC machines) will always have a future!
