Of course. Dave Smith produced a soft-synth after all, and i am sure 
that one is also "modeled after". Nontheless all these synths have 
some good features that you can only find in Dave Smith´a´likes.

Look at the Evolver...;)

sense of the term) the Minimoog to a great extent.  One might even 
argue that it was a better polyphonic Minimoog than the Memorymoog.

Spitzfindigkeiten, as we say in German. You can also argue than that 
the "Model T" from Ford was the best car, since it was first...
 
Recently i read on a german synth-forum that the AN200 sounds 
flat...guess they never tried some of the patches laying around in 
our file-section...;)
