I assume you mean non-negligible

Exactly, didn't want to bias anyone with my opinions at their first listening. I will give it some days and then come up with the answers to the blind test and also my opinions on the Repro.zvenx wrote:Thanks. Urs had tweeted about it.......and I got the chance to see it.
Want to hear what your views of the comparison is.... But I imagine you purposely didn't comment in the video to skew others from their own 'observations'.
From your video it sounded like the hardware had a tad more bottom end than the software but by the time you spun around to move from one to the other, my ears/brain may have misrepresented what I just heard
I was actually more fascinated how you can sit in that position so comfortably

Honestly I wasn't that bothereddlarseninclusive wrote:Fair enough, it does not sound like a toy, some of the simpler patches I tested actually sound identical. Once you start hearing any resonance, they diverge significantly and I was rather awe struck by that, especially testing apples to apples side by side. Sorry that bothered you so much, not my intention. I will try to be more thoughtful in my comments.jasonekratz wrote:Just a reminder that the Arturia emulation has been pretty well respected for over a decade and is much lower on the CPU use scaledlarseninclusive wrote:I am grinding through programming some Arturia Prophet V patches into Repro 5. The difference in sound quality is unreal. I used the Arturia plugin quite a bit, and now it just sounds like a toy. Or like an MP3 VS vinyl.
(not to mention is has the hybrid 5/VS mode). I think saying it sounds like a toy is just a tad unfair. If it really sounded like a toy you probably wouldn't have used it quite a bit as you noted. I'd hope in that over a decade we've made some progress on the programming front but Arturia was there a long time ago with a decent emulation.

jasonekratz wrote: Honestly I wasn't that botheredGuess my point is there is room for everyone in this plugin space. I'm glad Urs and crew are moving the ball forward in quality. I absolutely love both Diva and Repro-1 but that doesn't mean there isn't a use for Arturia's product even with the release of a better emulation.

Great video!
Fantastic video. Really enjoyed that.m.leicht wrote:Alright folks, I took the time and did what had to be done. Here's the comparison: Repro-5 vs. Prophet 5. Enjoy!
lol. Of course you cannot hear difference, you listening high compression audio on YouTube. But it's sound damn good on my gearSound Author wrote:Amazing comparison! I honestly cannot hear a negligible difference.
