I don’t see why else zdf would be needed if the goal was to get as close to virus as possible. I think virus was going for Moog style at least for some modes.recursive one wrote:Tbh, Viper filters dont sound exactly like Virus filters. They do sound similar and i like them a lot but when Virus and Viper are compared side by side with the same filter settings the difference may be heard
I think it's not so much about analog or digital, but about getting a richer, deeper sound that's typically associated with hardware synths. The Virus (to my knowledge) is a digital synth, but it sounds as rich and deep as any other hardware synth. That's where ZDF filters comes in handy: to give it that richer sound.
That's my reasoning anyway haha!
