VMPC2000XL does not

  • mimic the signal path, analog inputs/outputs so it doesn't make your samples sound "warm" or "dirty".
  • make it easy to create beats, manage sounds, etc. In fact, these things are all quite clumsy, but very much like the real 2000XL.
  • 100% mimic the digital per-voice filter. It contains an approximation which I tweaked by ear, so it's likely a setting on the 2000XL doesn't sound the same in the emulator.
  • emulate the optional EB16 FX board.
