"anything" can be emulated.
there's nothing mystical about a machine like the sp 12, well...
each sp 12 component can be separated, analyzed and tested to see what exactly it does to a soundwave. from it's converters to it's filters to it's circuitry etc etc.
e-mu is not interested in developing a soft-sp 12, i emailed them about this years ago.
one of my nerd friends who studies artificial intelligence passed as well, but he agreed it can be done. you'd have to deal with complicated stuff like
Fourier transform - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia though.
for now i'm satisfied using these following settings in hyperprism's
sonic decimator:
bit depth: 12
rate hz: 26667 (supposed to be the exact sp 12 rate instead of 27500)
