[HAM] why are tonewheels superior?

[Bohachewsky, Andrew V.]

I think Paul's got it exactly right. Ultimately I think the human brain
is more capable (perhaps than most realize) of discerning between
"reality" and a digital representation of reality.

To clarify terms: By "real" I refer to something physical/mechanical
which has (by virtue of existing in the real world) infinite bandwidth.
A bandwidth limited approximation can come very close (the contribution
of the terms out at infinity get smaller and smaller) but never perfect.
Mathematically think about switching between time domain and frequency
domain and what infinite bandwidth means in terms of time domain.

The concept of infinite bandwidth implies that: the paint is NEVER going
to come off the brush EXACTLY the same way twice, the piano string is
NEVER going to vibrate EXACTLY the same twice. And you will never get
EXACTLY the same sound twice depressing a Hammond key - pretty damn
close obviously otherwise it would not be much use as a musical
instrument but never 100.0000% exact.

Any digital representation is trading off bandwidth (increased bandwidth
translates to increased cost) - question being how much bandwidth do I
need to be "good enough" (anybody remember what JPEG/MPEG stand for?).
Limited bandwidth implies repeatability. Which after a while the human
brain does find "boring" and...
