The origin is not really emulation, though you can use it for it*. It's a digital modular synth that has base elements that are rooted in the vein of the classic analog synths. A digital recreation of the classic building blocks that you can combine in ways that are not possible in the real world. 

*there are some prebuilt synths with graphic interfaces and knob mapping.  The templates are static from what I remember, so you can't convert the minimoog or Jupiter template to modular for example. Though you can certainly create your own version from scratch as modular.
