Yes, but why stop there? If we take a look at Universal Audio's offers, some of them are quite demanding as well. Simply because they can afford the luxury of using more complex code in their products that would otherwise be a nightmare to use for mixing purposes. Actually, I wonder why Universal Audio hasn't put out some synthesizers yet. But maybe they will if they pay attention to the market. I mean, most people these days are demanding more and more quality in their instruments. That's the sole reason analogue has returned - quality and interaction with the instrument of course. And all of that without making the cpu ask for mercy.
