Ideally, a synthesizer isn't supposed to have any kind of sound. That is up
to the synthesist to create.

Spoken completely from a synthesist point of view with little reguard for
the marketing aspect. While I am more of a nuts and bolts person myself, I
certianly understand that the finest product may never be available for
purchase if marketing is ignored.

Me too. And to support one aspect of your argument, I will say I couldn't
care less what it was designed to emulate. But, some people who buy this
stuff just might. :-)
