Over the years, I've lost more the a few favorite hardware instrument patches as synth lifecycles reached failure mode. On occasion I've seen reference to sample emulation, but I'm unfamiliar with any reasonably priced products or the process to port these samples into. Theo only exception were VST plugins that I found for my dead EMU synths. I still have a couple of rack synths that haven't quite bitten the dust yet. Could someone suggest a way forward to extend patch life?
Thanks
