I think it is entirely possible with FOSS. this kinda reminds me of the situation 10-15 years ago when people were trying to make their windows laptop look like a mac… because mac was more “respected” in audio circles… FOSS will work for professional audio… how many sneers and eyerolls it solicits from others who paid $$$$, who knows… prob a good bit depending on the circles you roll through.
20 years ago, I used a Roland MC303 with an Electrix Warpfactory vocoder… eventually added an Atari 1040ST and a laptop running NI generator 1.5, and I built and used a Paia Fatman synth for a while… now I only use computer, but hate myself twice for the 2 times i got rid of the warpfactory!
thanks for your time! all the best!
