Have we now reached "peak plug in"

Find me a song where all that modulation and modern (hardware) tech is used and that has songwriting and melody like a good new order song. Lots of modular or granular stuff that's droning boringly for minutes on the internet, but very little songs.

Drones are not songs; they are sound.

For instance, there is not a convincing analog emulation that can do the kind of polyphonic per-voice morphing that my PolyBrute or Nina can do.

That seems like a pretty easy thing to implement. Have u-he or Synapse Audio expressed any interest in doing it?

That's your opinion. And this is mine.

you could feed a small village for a year for the price of that.
And software as far as the eye can see

I’m not so sure it is. If you have a decent amount of destinations and sources all possibly modulating something while all the sources are also being modulated… and you’re trying to make sure audio rate modulation is happening at a good quality… that’s a lot. Since Arturia obviously knows how to implement it, at least in hardware, you’d think it would have shown up in their software too, yet no. Cypher II has it, but not something that can be used in real time. Same with MSoundFactory. It obviously can be done, I just don’t think it can be done and get to a level of emulation of plugins like RePro, Legend, OB-E, etc. I’d love to be proven wrong, and I assume I will be at some point, but it’s not today.

I remember having a revelation when I first started listening to ambient. A lightbulb went on and I realized that the melody wasn’t in the fundamental, it was in the harmonics. A drone can absolutely be a song, of course, like all music there are good and bad songs.

You’ll be found dead in a tangle of that one day and the coroner report will read, “auto erotic asphyxiation.”

True, but this type of thing is really going to help my tech start up which is a device that automatically closes all windows on your computers and phones and deletes all your cookies and history when you flatline.
