wouldn’t it be great to invent actually something new!
They do – but most musicians want to be retro analogs and virtual versions of vintage gear….
Why the need for something new?
Unless it’s actually an improvement, there is no need for novelty for its own sake.
Elka Rhapsody… Which one? ¡Because for example a 490 sounds completely different to a 610!
