<div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div>Don't you think to say a patch that emulates scratching sounds from audio samples is a technological parody of a scratching record player, is a bit like saying a patch that emulates the sound of the piano is a technological parody of a piano (they are both instruments)?. I think one purpose of audio software to emulate instruments ? Regarding if it is musically interesting, I'm v. sure you know record scratching is(was?) used as an instrument in hip hop and such.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If a purpose of audio software is emulation of physical instruments then I don't think it should be labeled as a technological parody. Otherwise you could use the argument 'why have a computer when I can buy a physical instrument' every time? </div>
