PS: There are discussions regarding fairness. Is it fair that Behringer provides a Model D clone? Is it fair that Moog's reissued Model D is that expensive? Is it fair that companies get money for providing clones of discontinued synth? Is it fair that companies discontinue iconic synth? There are more or less no discussions regarding possible differences of the sound quality. Those discussions are not about weak FLOSS emulations. Again! Important parts sometimes are real analog parts, no software at all. CV often is provided. Btw. my Roland GR-55 not only provides samples, but also modeling. A real sitar or a real resonator guitar sounds different to using my electric guitars with the modeling of a sitar or resonator guitar, but it is an option, less expensive than buying a sitar and resonator guitar and very important to me, it requires less floor space. Some of my music gear is unused in my kitchen, unused in my bedroom and used by a friend a few streets away. Floor space in my music room is limited. While I agree that virtual synth often can't compare to original synth, they sometimes could or are they are at least good enough and sometimes they are simply a less expensive alternative, even if they should sound less good. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
