| It would be great if 112db the company that makes Morgana would do a 12bit sampler. The Morgana reminds me so much of the sound of the mirage its scary, reverse engineering is a beautiful thing.
Now as far as building plugs that sound accurate (waves API for example) you have to consider that we're dealing with business, and in business there is a difference between being able to do something and actually doing it. Could some one accurately recreate the sound of a vintage piece of analogue gear? Yes, would it be cost effective? NO. Would it be stable, and viable with constraints of modern DAWs? Probably not. Has Waves gotten close enough that they can sell products (sell being a slightly incorrect term) and make a profit? Hell yes, and that is the most important answer.
Reverse engineering is expensive and time consuming, analogue circuitry does have a lot of "apparent" chaos but with enough time and effort even this can be worked into the program. Analogue Circuitry is all math, any one who's taken basic physics and circuits courses should know this, but its not easy math.
So to put it simply, unless NASA gets into building plug ins we're probably not going to see ultra realistic plug ins for a while to come. But even if we did I doubt our modern computer hardware could handle it. |
