In most cases they are dumbed down, it always intrigues me that many of the  
'classic' instruments are often the first attempt. These are the  instruments 
that are still dangerous with rough edges and capabilities that  are beyond 
'safe'.
 
For example I still use a Roland D50, but later D synths were chopped right  
down because the D50 was seen as too complicated. Shame...
