Not a problem with modelling. The ARP got in trouble because they used the schematics and desing, which were patented by Moog. In modelling you only copy the sound, not the desing. Sound can't be patented. |
the virus is in concept a "software" emulator of old analog hardware technology. thats means that components like oscilators, filters etc. and their behaviour and characteristics have been defined as virtual objects in the software that controlls the dsp. for a synth programmer its much easier to write code in a environment that emulates real synth hardware. building up the complete environment is the main job. other software like reason has the same concept. thats also the reason why programmers that do this job must have serious knowledge of real hardware.
i'm almost sure that the virus crew took the original filter layout and translated it in the corresponding dsp code.
