Interesting! My first thought when this discussion started was about
physical modeling.

The Korg Z1 uses physical modeling and has a guitar model (I think), but
if the MOSS board in my Korg Karma (which supposedly uses the same
technology) is any indication, they've got a long way to go.

Some of the sounds in my (monophonic) Yamaha VL70m seem quite reasonable
- but I'd love to hear 'em polyphonically!

Downloading the Creamware demos as we speak...
