This is a really great comparison. But the thing that amazes me the most is, how are you able to create 600 patches from scratch and still don't scratch the surface of the synth? I'm sure I'm missing everything about my synths... You should make a synth programming book or something (if you haven't already), because that's truly impressive.

Anyway, I really like your posts. You have another fan! :3

'do' ... maybe (I'll assume you mean playing notes) .

Sound, certainly not.

There's clearly something wrong in the little points between you two sentences.
Okay, maybe missing an oscillator Serum would fall a little short of a Mini. So a Sonic Six or an Odyssey then.

Point is, VA synths can't do what WT synths can do. Not with static waveforms. It is physically impossible unless they have WT oscillators built into them, thus the hybrid synths that I talked about.

Today, with the functionality that a lot of synths are built with, the distinction is almost becoming meaningless anyway.

Still, give me a WT synth with all the functionality of a typical VA synth and I will take that WT synth over a VA synth any day of the week if for no other reason than more oscillator timber options.
Yes, if you think that only a third oscillator separates Serum from a Minimoog, and if you describe 'freerunning by nature' analog oscillators as 'static', it seems that the discussion can end here and immediatly. :shrug:

'VA synths can do things that WT synths can't do' is as valid as the opposite. But well, some people do appreciate diversity, while some other people might prefer the 'inferior' VS 'superior' paradigm. For reasons only known of them.

You're however free to prefer WT synthesis over Analog substractive synthesis. I like both.
I like both as well. If I didn't, I wouldn't have all the synths that I have.

That is a spot on assessment from my point of view as well! Great job!!
By the way I am loving those presets thank you @wagtunes :)
