I must be missing something. It sounds like everyone so far is in agreement that we need PG to come up with the real tracks, (real instruments, such as trumpet or guitar, played by real live musicians) that are actually real musicians playing real synths in real audio. I take it that these synths are the same instruments which try their best to emulate the sound of a real instrument such as a trumpet or guitar, but even at their best are limited by either design, physics, or the ability of the person playing the synth to come as close a possible to replicating the sound of said real instruments.
In other words I can have a real top notch fiddle player playing a real fiddle, or a hopefully top notch synth player playing a hopefully top notch synth, trying to replicate a real top notch fiddle.
Hmmmm.
clue me in y'all.

I am surprised that no one has explained. An example of what toucher described in the quote above would be the GM sound set, which is usually comprised of samples of real (acoustic, electric, and electronic) instruments. Of course there are other sample sets but GM is a well known example.
An example of what the other posters were talking about would be a Moog synthesizer, a real (electronic) instrument that creates synthetic tones in real time. There were a number of such instruments and each had their own signature sound. Although they might have had some sounds that sort of resembled acoustic instruments (horns or strings) they were not sample playback devices.
Interestingly, sample-based devices/romplers often have a bank of sounds that emulate the synthesizers, for example GM has synth leads and synth pads. What the other posters were requesting are Real Tracks of the real synthesizers, not emulations of them based on samples.
Robh pointed out that now one can buy software versions of the vintage synths and some sound just like their hardware predecessors. But I assume that the others were requesting Real Tracks of synths for the same reason anyone would want Real Tracks of any instrument, i.e., you don't have to buy the instrument, don't have to learn to play it, don't have to record it, etc.

I am not much of a keyboard player, so I would also be interested in synth real tracks. I would prefer the real synth type sounds, not emulations of existing instruments. Some classic synth sounds from Prophet, Oberheim, Yamaha, Moog, etc.. would be nice.

I'm another one who'd like to see some synth real tracks in any new releases. Also, add-in the vocal oohs and aahs, strings, and organ tracks, as posted before. I hardly ever use the solo real tracks, since I'm doing that myself live. I'd like a larger palette of sounds/tracks/instruments to draw from to place in the background in BIAB song arrangements.
