That shows how little VSTi technology is improving. The Discovery had none of the depth and character of the Nord and was lifeless, sterile and artificial sounding. Now this is in comparison to a VA! Look what people say about VA's compared to Analog and look at how hard it is to emulate a digital classic.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely.
ReplyDeleteNow, I wonder when someone will start doing 1:1 DSP emulaton.
I've never heard how inefficient it is to emulate a common DSP (SHARC? TI) in a regular PC's CPU. I am curious to get efficiency comparisons, since DSP's are always clocked much slower. Like, can an 80Mhz SHARC DSP be emulated 1:1 using 25% power of a Core 2 Duo?
I'm curious to know what the relationship is.

ReplyDeletealthough some softsynths have tons of character that couldn't be emulated hardware (zebra2, absynth4, vokator). Much of this has to do with the UI features that require a 'paged' layout, databasing, and graphic feedback. With the something like a nord emulation, the UI is simple and all the work must be put into modelling the character of sound, since the actual DSP code is obviously inaccessable. This would be as impossible as modelling an analog. I'm sure that Clavia would make a great soft nord.
For the record, the Nord Lead 2 absolutely does allow you to change the PB range
