RE: The End of Timeless Instruments? (Craig Anderton editorial)
what we may loose is the possibility to dig out an old left behind
instrument and "rediscover" it. If you find a 200 years old
instrument now, there is a chance you can take off its dust and
listen to its sound.
In 200 years there will be some specialist who with a VST emulator,
so they can listen to an old plug and imitate it, whereas there is
very little chance that a todays digital effect box will still work,
and it seems impossible to find a replacement chip, so its rather the
dedicated electronic instruments which will not survive.
but the strong inventions will be reproduced virtually updated
through the system changes anyway!
or re-copied by fans later.
and a virtual copy of a virtual instrument seems to be easier...
history is certainly helpfull to understand where we are.
but in this phase it also seems to hold us back.
in my world, a tube amplifier is not be the quality reference any
more, not just because the technology is overcome, but because its
sound served in a revolutionary phase which is over. besides, it
always makes sense to save some to remind of that phase
