Overestimated synths?

I know who they are, and i will keep my opinion to myself.

This Thread will help the next generation of Music Makers to avoid making the same mistakes we did.

Anything, and I mean anything endorsed by

Oops, looks like I've been silenced by the Synthernet Police.

Beat me to it. Nevermind that most people still can't tell analog from digital in a blind taste test.

Whilst I agree that analog fetishism has reached ridiculous heights...I still disagree.
Within certain parameters it would be very easy to make a blind test in which people would have trouble telling a digital synth from an analog. Sure.
for example a simple saw osc into a slightly resonant filter with a sweep. With today's softsynths and their much improved filters, I can imagine some people still would be capable of picking the analog but 95 % of people would probably struggle. 99% probably if you are talking laypersons.

BUT if you made a patch with 2 sines at relatively high freqs and get one to FM the other, I can imagine the results would be VEry different.
Which is why I have nearly < 0 interest in mini moog emulations or even Diva

For me these kind of synths don't have the extreme modulation ranges and speeds that Analog synths are capable of, so they never interested me at all. Slight osc drift? big woopsies. Repro though? Now we are getting there.

Its Audio rate modulation that a lot of analog enthusiasts want. and Software is still struggling hard to compete there. That is not really even debatable.

I got myself a 2nd hand Virus TI 2 weeks ago for $1500. A brand new one costs around $3000. I previewed many presets, but honestly I couldnt understand why a hardware synth like that costs 3 grands.

Having said that, off to porting our code to ARM/Linux

Are you really working on a Linux port of Synthmaster?!

95-99% of all people would, by any definition, equal "most people"
