    Tehcnically, you *can* capture its sound, if you distort it the right way and do
    other tricks, like add a realistic tremolo. I've made pretty good Rhodes
    emulations on a couple of my synths, and I've even programmed a killer Wurlitzer
    on a DX7 that I've never seen any other synth top.

    But what you can't capture is its *feel*. That I will easily admit.

    Forget about softsynths, I don't trust them to make serious music. Sure, they're
    fun uses for a computer, like Rebirth, but they're mostly for little kiddies who
    think an OB-8 is some sort of feminine hygene product. Besides, they're a pain
    to use live.
