"Some even say" they saw bigfoot too.

Seriously, EQ and oscillators are the simplest programs to write digitally. Especially oscillators. If nothing else, one can store a wavetable of the desired waveform, and send that out on demand.

I also second psycho_monkey that digital is not metallic sounding. Digital recording gives a highly accurate reproduction of whatever comes into your mic or DI feed. It's almost 2010 for gosh sakes - I can't believe we're still having to explain this stuff.
