I don't understand that trend at all.  Yes, I have a Waldorf Pulse, which is 
virtual (don't believe anything anyone says about it being analog; ask the 
Waldorf guys from Germany at NAMM and they'll set you straight.  Or just open 
it up and see!).  But I don't use it to make "Minimoog" sounds.

Its kind of like the Honda or Yamaha Harley-clones; if you want a Harley, 
then BUY a Harley!  It seems like music technology has become battle of the 
poseurs.  I own obscure gear because I like the challenges, specifically 
because I DON'T want to be like everyone else in terms of gear.  Whether it 
is the MOTM, or JoMox, or SidStation, or some vintage piece of crap drum 
machine that is sitting in my basement, I like to dig up sounds that don't 
sound like every dance hit out there.  PLEASE lets not get back to the days 
when I used to listen to the radio and say "oh, that's a DX7, patch number 
36."

Ok, flame off.... back to your normally scheduled programming.
