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)  |
yes, you can emulate a sp. but you cant emulate it right now, with some software plugins. like i said, maybe in the future, but not now.
with SSM2044 ship,other
hardware and knowledge, some people (like nolting) can emulate it. but i and maybe 95% of the users cant do it.
good idea, to write emu.. i cant imagine, that it isnt economic to make a soft (or maybe with hardware componets) sp1200. its a bummer, i would like to hear this simulation.
but in the end: its not only the machine, that makes the sound, its how you treat the machine.
