I agree, and in addition, the sound of the SP and older samplers is a little more than just the unit itself. Those records that folks r attached to that used these older units were all recorded to 2" analog tape, mixed on a full sized analog console (ssl/neve), used outboard processing, and were all mixed to 1/2" analog tape by a real engineer.
You will never get that sound running an SP, etc. into a DAW & mixing ITB. Those extra processes r the biggest difference in the sound of the records of pre/post 1999
