You'll notice I used the word 'most,' as in 'most analog modules you'd
want from a synth' as there will always be more. And I didn't see paul
say anywhere that he was going to make a virtual analog synth; the
synergy doesn't quite count. The synergy, the prophet VS/wavestation,
etc are all patently digital synthesizers. What gave you the idea that
paul was going to be doing VA stuff?
