I don't really care if it's a reproduction or a new design, just make it interesting. :shrug:

Are there experts who could measure the derailness? For sure extra big letters for underscoring the right to be right (off topic) would help to reach that goal. At least if we count the space and not the words...
The problem is, being OT is the norm around here. What would be unusual would be if we stayed on topic for a whole thread. I doubt that has ever happened.
Oh there are threads started by sarahcommand with 0 responses. Ok those are the only ones...

Never repeat jokes! Better even don‘t quote them...

Back to the topic
Why should it be nostalgia?
I'm using emulations for contemporary cinematic tracks and futuristic sound design, sound fx and the like.
It's all about the timbre, not the age if you ask me.
