I was looking for a link to something like that :) Definitely a good 
starting point. I'm sure it sounds great... but I'm equally sure that 
PDF-modelling, diode-ladder modelling et al, are either non-existent or 
very simply done, so it won't sound the same as Pink Floyd's VCS3. But 
of course, exact emulation (of analogue characteristics) is not a 
requirement for making great music, or even for making great musical 
instruments :)
