Lots of people failing the blind test with Diva counters that statement.
Yes, really. Some things are just way off.

Diva is not an emulation of a specific synth. It's a fantastic analog model with a mix of oscillators and filters from different synths.
Ca 2600 sounds awesome. Xenos is a great programer.zzz00m wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 9:05 pmI uninstalled TimewARP 2600 after I picked up the Cherry Audio 2600. $25 now. Check out the demo! https://cherryaudio.com/products/ca2600
Xenos Soundworks has released a 90 preset bank for the CA2600, "Retroscapes", $8.95. https://xenossoundworks.com/ca2600.html

The SONiVOX 2600 plugin was always way too small and buggy for me to enjoy it.
I have Korg's ARP Odyssey as well, and think it sounds fantastic!
Cherry Audio and MRB have collaborated to deliver the unique module features, stunning sound quality, and overall user experience of the rare and classic ARP 2500 synthesizer to the Voltage Modular platform. All 18 modules originally produced for the ARP 2500 system have been recreated in perfect detail, as well as a couple that were planned but never produced (including a full-function oscilloscope and a spring reverb), and a mixer module that never existed, but should have! We’ve eliminated the matrix-switch I/O scheme and replaced all connections with standard CV jacks, and added bi-polar CV attenuators to all modulation inputs for full compatibility with all Voltage Modular modules. But most importantly, the tremendous analog sound and unique features of the original modules have been retained in their entirety, with a few small tweaks to improve the practicality of these 50-year-old designs. The recreation of the 2500 modules was a team effort, combining Cherry Audio’s extensive design experience with award-winning synth designer Mark Barton’s (MRB) DSP coding sorcery. The result is a virtual time machine of fat, impactful early electronic music history for the ears!
Yeah, it looks great! And it doesn’t sound terrible, but it also doesn’t sound like an ARP. Like many of Arturia’s oldest emulations, it doesn’t do a convincing impression of the actual hardware, but it’s a perfectly decent soft synth.
I have that too…but I don’t have any idea what an ARP 2500 is supposed to sound like.
Anyone knows happened with the original developer?ChamomileShark wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 4:57 pm It's sad that these things are taken on by companies from the original developers and then just abandoned.
RePro does a good job emulating both the sound and spirit of the Prophet.zzz00m wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 7:35 pm Isn't it also a fact that soft synths are never going to sound exactly like their hardware counterpart?
I accept that (and assume many folks do as well). Most emulations are close enough for any music that I would make with them, rather than stressing out over an oscilloscope comparison. Plus they're much less expensive and more convenient. If you don't accept that, you really should stick with hardware.
I think a reasonable benchmark might be rating how close they come. But to say "doesn't sound at all like" ... really???
I have the Repro, and to my ears that is the most "analog" sounding synth in my arsenal. Having never owned a real Prophet or ARP synth, but having listened to countless recorded synth tracks on albums over the years, I can only approximate what "analog" sound these emulations should have.
