Ok, I'm not trying to spoil your cheese here...but it gets to the point
where trying to articulate and synthesize an acoustic instrument is more
complicated then playing the real thing. While It would be neat to have a
real hardware synth that could accurately model whatever "analog" instrument
you please, coordinating both arms, feet, and breath controller can get a
little awkward.
