sounds kinda limited from the description...

Didn't audiorealism do an iphone app of 303/808/909? That sounds more like my kinda thing.

Still waiting for someone to recommend me a virtual analogue software plugin to try that will live up to my experience with hardware.. cmon guys.. if they exist, just tell me where to look.

To the people saying hardware VAs sound the same as software VAs, which exact pieces of hardware and software are you comparing? where are the sound comparison demos? or how about even, an amazing demo of the best software VA, so I can compare it myself, to my own sounds which have always come from ...
