Such a ridiculous and physically impossible statement.  There isn't anything 
about an envelope follower or its filtering capability that comes close to the 
kind of complex freq response and sound I get from the processing I do. And 
it's only going to get more complex when I upgrade the OS.  Simpler is only 
better for simple sounds.

When I first got my Multimoog, I used to think I got a decent cello sound from 
it when I played it through a Leslie speaker and used my right hand on the 
ribbon controller to give it manual vibrato much like a real string player. I'm 
sure if I heard it today it wouldn't sound very good.  Memory has a way of 
altering the past.
