It's interesting how everyone accepts the modern computers, TVs and cars are better, yet relatively simple from modern perspective electronic instruments are considered (by musicians) being made of magical pixie dust only available from magical pixie dust mines of the 1970s and are possible to do currently only with the biggest technical and financial effort.

Like we have CPUs that are quadrillion faster than one from Apple II without breaking sweat, for pennies, self piloting drones, but do you want an analog signal generator with a keyboard, that can't play chords, sounding like a machine that-goes-ping for average passer by? That'd be $6000 please.
