I have spent many 100 dollars on software synths made by u-he (their
officially unsupported Linux versions, which works great) and why,
because they have sounds with feelings.  Deepness.  And there are some
people out there making (and selling... ) great patches.  These are not
hyped C64 sounds.  They are humane, real.

I also did.  But then I was very impressed by the u-he synths.  Such
feeling.  

And I have no problem saying this here because it should stimulating
for the open source community.  Why is it that when deep sound
algorithms are found, that it goes closed source ?  I think it is
because of the found value in expression. Human expression. Although
yes, to make Bazille make farting sounds is (hyperventilating) funny,
there is a universe of expression beyond that.

Not sure the above make sense :)
