Imo it's possible to make SOME of those sounds..
It's about "unheard sounds" or "do you really NEED a neuron and nothing
else?".. Right?

There samplemorphing is a feature that you CAN do OFFLINE but with no synth
like older digitals..
Same with the paramters the neuron offers: means "more glassy" or
something..
But imo it is possible to re-programm SOME of those sounds!
It's a question of HOW LONG.. In most cases..

But if it's coming to sample morphing you may only compare the neuron to
sonicWorx that can do some of those type FX offline..

To really answer to that question: I could imagine a large number of sounds
can be done with an FX and digtial synth..
But there are also some that may not be that easy..

The neuron is quite new, so the users of it may need some time to really
"expoit" it to the limit of sound designing..

My posting was also to show the neurons "attitude" of some sort of a
"live-pluginizer".. But still there are some unexplored sections (wavemaker
software) that I did not check out in the shop so far..

So, me thinks "this is a nice synth, but 5000 is something I'd maybe better
pay for a nice computer and software"..
For some "sort of" ppl I could imagine this is THEEEE synth,because you do
not need lot of knowledge to make "biiig" sounds..

Hope this is a bit more clear?..
It's hard to say.. That is my impression so far.
