I don't understand that trend at all. Yes, I have a Waldorf Pulse, which is
virtual (don't believe anything anyone says about it being analog; ask the
Waldorf guys from Germany at NAMM and they'll set you straight. Or just open
it up and see!). But I don't use it to make "Minimoog" sounds.
Its kind of like the Honda or Yamaha Harley-clones; if you want a Harley,
then BUY a Harley! It seems like music technology has become battle of the
poseurs. I own obscure gear because I like the challenges, specifically
because I DON'T want to be like everyone else in terms of gear. Whether it
is the MOTM, or JoMox, or SidStation, or some vintage piece of crap drum
machine that is sitting in my basement, I like to dig up sounds that don't
sound like every dance hit out there. PLEASE lets not get back to the days
when I used to listen to the radio and say "oh, that's a DX7, patch number
36."
Ok, flame off.... back to your normally scheduled programming.
