Are the oscillators still in use? Today is the computer chip age in the recording studio. It seems as if virtually all of the equipment of the analog age has been duplicated with mouse pointers & clicks (events) on today's workstations. You can play a Hammond B3 today, replete with all its trademark features & flaws (key clicks, attack & decay, growl, stops, flutter, etc.) on a PC program with nothing but a bunch of OK, Select & Save buttons & drop-down lists.
I don't think that there is too much computer stuff that would be a replacement for the oscillators and/or just speeding up the tape. I have stuff that can change the formant of a voice which sounds like a tape being sped up but it just doesn't sound as good as the things LB does with analogue stuff.
