Everything We Can't Describe in Music

My trombone is lousy at reproducing the sound of a cello, but I don’t consider it inferior.

More to the point, the synthesizer has more options for expressiveness through change in timbre, glissando, microtones, etc.

But nobody made the claim that everything is possible with a trombone.

Is there a synthesizer that claims anything is possible?

For those with the patience, I'd guess that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavetable_synthesis would come closest to that ... with the 'right' controllers... and maybe more than one performer!
