Digitura on Analog vs Digital vs Analog Modeled Synthesizers

Supporting member Digitura has a post up on Analog vs Digital vs Analog Modeled Synthesizers. And yes, analog modeling is digital. Click through for the full post including some demo comparisons.

"In today's world, synthesizers (or synths) are considered one of the key points in modern music genres, being constantly used in many producers and musician’s home studios

This brings a lot of doubt regarding which synth to choose. I’m pretty sure you all have noticed a revival of vintage gear in the last decades, and everybody's getting mad to put their hands on classic synths.

There has been a long debate regarding the differences between analog and digital synths: The idea that Analog synths sound better prevail for a long time. That was until recent days that thanks to the computing power we have a third option: Analog modeled synthesizers, also known as virtual analog emulation. In this article we will compare the 3 options, show some audio samples so you can make your own impression and gather some conclusions."

Quick Intro the History of Analog Synthesizers on Digituria & Their Upcoming Software Synth

Supporting member, Digituria wrote in to let us know of a blog post they put up on the history of analog synthesizers. They are also working on a new soft synth named MATRIX DUDE of all things. No affiliation with me or the site.

The following is some info on the upcoming synth. You can download a beta and try it for yourself on their website here.

OSCILLATORS
Two wavetable analog emulation that reproduce the same harmonics as the classical Model-D square and triangle, while keeping the sharpness of a digital sawtooth. The inverse sawtooth and note-sync allows you to combine both oscillators to recreate a PWM.

FILTER
The synth includes a faithful recreation of the 4 poles 24db "ladder" filter to carve the sound. In addition to the cutoff and resonance there's an extra "spacing" parameter to move the cutoff frequency between the stereo channels.
