You could probably emulate the analog sections with a circuit simulator like SPICE.

  Analog is hard to emulate well. At least, I've never heard of a decent emulation of the legendary Moog filter. 'Infinite' trumps 'many'

    Analog is hard to emulate because real components have complicated non-linear and stateful behaviors, and because real circuits are full of parasitic components, not because of "infinite" anything. Analog circuits have finite SNR and bandwidth, and the "many" of digital can easily exceed them. Analog circuits also tend to have high variation between units. You might have a perfect simulation of the average hardware, but it won't necessarily sound like your specific hardware. You'll need to measure your hardware and tune the simulation to match.

      In music 'high variation' is frequently a plus. For example the value of Stradivarius or Steinway (and countless other instrument brands) is dependent on 'hard to emulate'. Of course digital has its place ... but nature chose to go with analog.
