I really really like the filters that are in Ableton's 'wavetable' synth. Made by cytomic.

Diva obviously has some really great filters. Kind of surprised that someone said serum. They seemed pretty bland to me.

Just that it's called SUBTRACTIVE because you subtract something from the sound! :wink:

Everything which is computed by a chip is a digital filter. But there are digital filters (computations) that try to emulate analog filters. Some better, some less.

It should be mentioned that "digital" is far better than it´s questionable Reputation. Dozens of Super-Hits of the last Decades can approve that ;-)

Yeah i know what subtractive synthesis is,made dozen of stuff with it,but i just miss simple differentiation between terms - VA for example,what if it is not virtual analog but just virtual synth,that's simpliest explanation of digital to me,could read tons of stuff www,but tha'ts not the topic here,just simple definition.Cheers :)

pigments 2 has some nice analog filter emulations: moog, SEM, matrix12 etc.

Analog filter emulation of tune sounded really nice as well.

uhe modelled in repro self oscilating finlters like on the hardware.

the legend has the best moog filters imho

ATM, Massive X is the most fun for me in terms of filters. It has Moog ladder filter models (Blue Monark), SVF (SEM?) filter models, 303 filter model (Asimov), as well as some more saturated/distored models, which all sound quite good. MX is a really delicious, (for me) right mixture between analog modelling, and providing the range of features you'd expect from one of those flagship synths.

Ok, no weird comments from me this time :)

Somehow i missed Cobalt,will try it later,sorry if it's annoying question,but i feel like my definition and work on 'analog-ish' stuff may be subjective,big fan of old school subtractive synthesis using basic waveforms and all magic your imagination(and knowledge) could create,but still can't find reason why to abandon Sylenth1 and to start explore Diva for example,not exactly super excited of recreations of famous hardware in vst shell,prefer and rely on sound and character of synths i like and use already,just till now my taste was more warm 'analog' sound and wonder what could produce 'cold' digital beauty for me,nevermind how subjective or relative these terms are in digital world,for now i like Hive2 more than Serum which is overused already,Massive X seems kind of uncomfortable,don't know Pigment is interesting as well,for sure will wait for Synthmaster 3 and then will see what to be added to it,probably Dune and Hive, not sure yet,need to find 2 or 3 new powerful synth which complete each other and satisfy my taste.Bought few discounted and still have no time to explore them deeply,but if buy something at full price will be to squeeze it seriously.Cheers :)
