You can find the full interview on Resident Advisor here. A large focus of the interview is on synths.
"We step into the German producer's studio to chat Voyetra 8s, Hartmann Neurons and other synth arcana."
He touches on the Hartmann Neuron and it's lack of commercial success.
"There was a time when programming was considered to be part of playing synthesizer, and people were excited when new ideas of synthesis came up. Around the mid-'90s I think it switched to this trend where people just wanted to have these so called groove boxes where you can basically just bang out a quick dance track in an hour. I think that the Hartmann Neuron was one of the instruments that really suffered from that development."
The was also the case for the FIZMO in the bottom image (you can always spot the FIZMO in pics). It came out in the renaissance of virtual analog synthesis. Because it was knob laden, people expected it to be a VA. It wasn't of course. It employed Ensoniq's Transwave Synthesis engine which was their version of Wavetable synthesis.
