Yes, it would. There are some good digital emulations of spring reverbs, but they don't make an apocalyptic SPPPPRRROOOOOOOOOOOIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!! sound when you slap their sides.

Actually ;P , Dave Smith already does this with the spring reverb on all the DSI flagship synths. There's an accelerometer on the side of the synth you can slap/punch and it responds with that SPROROIIOIING. Here's a video of him showing it on the prophet-6, the OB-6 can do it too.

I guess it'd be easy to emulate as well, by including some accelerometers...
