The current OASYS will undoubtedly be worth somewhat less than its sales price today, just as with your analog synths - since that's what happens with technology. I trust that it will still sound great and be useful, however - just as it is today.

I don't like to see mis-statements stay out there un-corrected.

I could ask instead - why are *you* arguing with *me*? You're the one who started off by trash-talking.

I listen to and talk with my users all the time, and have been doing so on the net for many years.

Personally, I don't use any analog synths at the moment. I sold my Jupiter 6 when I was confident that OASYS did everything I needed from it; my JX-8P and Matrix 6r are in the closet and behind the couch, respectively. (We also keep a mini and a prophet around the office, and bring in others from time to time.)

Waldorf has made a couple of products which are similar to what you suggest, however - the Q+ and their filterbank. The latter could be used in conjunction with soft-synths, I believe.
