Actually to say that something almost shames something else is to imply that it 
is so much better that it would almost cause shame to the other.  Knowing that 
an envelope follower set to the point where it might pass sound through it, 
means it's probably nothing more than a full wave rectifier.  And that hardly 
compares to the "100 digital filters" thing.  Afterall, if it were that simple, 
MoogCE wouldn't be selling $1500 36 band string filters, but $20 rectifiers 
instead.

And sure I know that simple patches can yield complex results (not for complex 
wooden body resonance though).  I had a couple of people on the Nord list 
amazingly wonder how I could have done that complex sounding piano slam patch.  
After posting the patch it almost seemed as if one guy was disappointed at how 
simple it was.
