The most simplest synthesizer, built out of resistors, capacitors and what have you? No matter if "regular sized" or SMD?
Or is it the hypernym for outboard gear - read: "hardware"?
Is it the sound - which is an highly subjective thing?
Is it because of saturation, or "dirt"/impurities?


On that behalf... what is "vintage"?
Obviously gear that exceeded a certain age. But with that fast development in terms of tools, is it already vintage once it exceeds 1 generation or (let's say) 5 years of existence? Or does that only apply to selected hardware with a certain age (20+ years, dare I even say everything pre 1985)?



Food for thought.
Oh geesh.

Don't be bringing that in here. :scared:

How far back do we go with vintage? EMS VCS3?
Old pipe organs? Spinets? Hurdy Gurdies? Slit Drums?

The human voice? :help: :party: :party: :hyper:

And what is a "better" sound? Taste is always subjective, anyway. One person might prefer digital chiptune sounds, the other lush analog Juno sounds...

To each its own... :shrug:

Haha, he's already removed the gear list from his sig.

I wonder why he'd do that?
To just say f**k off without having to do so individually to basslinemaster, trimph1 and other members of the KVR Circle Jerk / Butt Hurt club. (Boo hoo hoo, someone hurt my feelings by telling me the truth. Mommy, he was mean to me. Please, please, please tell me my plugins sound just as good as the hardware I can't afford and/or don't know how to use.)

But while I'm here, f**k off.

When Diva can easily replicate this sound, I will eat my words. Until then, as I said, f**k off.

Hey Gadget, there's something about the following comments that just doesn't add up:
Gadget Fiend wrote:there is not a single synth plugin that sounds as good as its hardware equivalent
and then this regarding a spoof demo made with a softsynth:
Gadget Fiend wrote:I hadn't really heard that "Pulse magic" from any of the leaked demos so far. But as soon as I heard this short demo above I thought, "Ah, there's that deep bass, killer resonance tone, and crazy aggressive/expressive modulated sounds that make the Pulse so special." I'm pre-ordering one right now!
There seems to be a slight contradiction there, no?

[the demo was made with a softsynth folks!]

(apologies for the repetition, but it is kind of funny, don't you think?)
