It's where you take something like a modern digital computer and do 
DSP by using an interface modeled after 30 year-old analog 
audio equipment.

Merely asserting this doesn't imply a value judgment, however.  I'd need 
to say more to do that: e.g., clear lines to show data flow = good, 
tangled mess of wires = bad (for both analog synths and Pd)
