That has to do with the skills of one making the sounds.zerocrossing wrote:Still, no one will listen to that example I posted and swear they feel that Diva sounds as good as the Slim Phatty. Not one.
Some other person could produce an example where Diva might "subjectively" sound better than the Phatty example.
So put up your best Phatty audio example, and let someone else have a go at it, or quite blabbin about it, and just be a poster boy for gear slutz instead.
All I need is a decent audio example, but it's hard to find one, as the ones I found all sound like s**t.
Apparently that example you speak of had some eq'ing done on the phatty example, from what I understood.
Besides it's not modeled after the Phatty.
I heard some good examples of it against a real minimoog d, and they sounded almost the same. Not worse or better, just very slight difference.
Almost the same is good enough for most, who don't mind some difference for the sake of cost and convenience.
As far as I'm concerned, it's not so much hardware vs software any more, but like this sound (as in an individual preset) vs that other sound.
Some sounds I've heard on soft synths are great, and some on hardware synths are terrible, and vice-versa, so really whats the point.
- attempts to possibly add a third good sound to FM synths
