No matter how good a modular simulation can get, it is not going to be real.
At least as far as I'm concerned.
One of the reasons I want to have a MOTM modular is because I actually like
the patch cord, pot, and switch interface. It is totally concrete and
tactile. It is conceptually simple and very reliable. It can't crash and
produce a "blue screen of death". I want to get away from the computer (I
work all day as a programmer). So much that I balk even at modules that
have a microprocessor in them.
