...and CPU intensive.

Ha, not necessarily. Depends how DSP processing is done (is it per sample or chunked in blocks), and a number of other factors.

They are not so cpu intensive. Even Modular isn't as much as I initially thought. After insertion of the first instance there is a higher consumption, but when I did add several instances more but the cpu hit didn't grow anymore

I became curious after ED's post.
For sure Softube doesn't seem to utitlize the vst3 at rest, no audio cpu saving's mode.
So I tested (not the same patch obviously, repros are both in HQ mode)

I do love to see a serious test. Thanks.

Synths were pretty much a nerd thing before the late 70's, so I agree that analog synths from the late 70's and early 80's made the classic, prototypical synth sounds known from zillions of records.Introspective wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 11:58 amI think you're confusing "prototypical" with "paragon" (or something). Of course there were lots of synths around before it. There were lots of synths around before the DX7 too, but would you claim that isn't a prototypical sound? Or the D-50? The M1? Wavestation? And, yes, there were lots of synths that sounded better. It was the number of Junos used and the pervasiveness of them in popular (and "popular" electronic too) music that make them a prototypical synth sound today. ...especially given how characterful and distinctive they are.BONES wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 3:38 amHardly. Synths had been around for decades before there were any Junos and, even in their day, there were much better sounding synths. For prototypical, think MiniMoog, ARP 2600/Odyssey, Oberheim SEM and Korg MS-20.Introspective wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 1:57 amThe Juno sound is one of the prototypical sounds of synthesis!
Arp, MiniMoog and MS-20, yes. Lots of music use those, they are part of the zeitgeist.
SEM ... probably not. That was less common and mostly only nerds even knew it existed. A great synth! I love them. ...but not a prototypical one. OTOH, the OB-8 / OB-X / OB-Xa ... clearly those are!Yes, I have gathered that about you over the years, and given your musical style. That's why I suggested the Model 84 speaks to you on a subliminal level. As a synth, it is ooooold. There is nothing new about it! There must be some hidden reason it appeals to you. Deep-seated, unconscious nostalgia is my guess.BONES wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 3:38 amThere is no nostalgia in me, everything new is better than anything old, pretty much without exception.I suspect that why you're drawn to this synth has to do with that: since this is one of the synths that really defines synthesis, it probably appeals to that nostalgia in you.

Do the synths from that developer still display aliasing?
I remember I was interested in one of those emulations some time ago, but in the thread on it people mentioned that there was aliasing, which I hate.

No, just a tiny bit of latency (i.e. if you chunk your processing in batches of 16 or 32 samples).

Myself I don't have time to demo, I base all my purchases on sound, features, potential, facts and some (if available) reviews. I don't think this is unusual? I still haven't had any problem with software not working. It's not like I'm on a Mac

Myself I don't have time to play synths, I just buy them to complain about them on KvR.

Myself, I don't have time to listen to demos or read reviews, I just download the trial version and try it for myself.starflakeprj wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 5:18 pmMyself I don't have time to demo, I base all my purchases on sound, features, potential, facts and some (if available) reviews.
