I believe the old analogue boost did more than just EQ warmth, it added some instability to the machine as in an Analogue instrument, these new algorithms certainly do.
It's subtle but I have already gone through a lot of my patches applying the fitting characters, and it really adds.. well.. Character. 
I dont know, but it sounds like some of the algorithms (bass and lead) seem to shift the spectra slightly, to accentuate the sound. |
Theres a difference between making the oscillator pitch slightly unstable by introducing slop, such as on the DSI synths, and changing the overall character of a patch.
I can make pitch unstable by applying a slow pitch lfo and achieve the same effect.
Shifting the spectra, what exactly do you mean, how does it work?
I'm asking for a clear description of how these work, rather than some vagueness.
The manual's description is vague as hell.
'use the characters to apply subtle changes to the sound of the filters, oscillators, and the character of the nonlinearities and distortions throughout the instrument'
If it said "this makes oscillator pitch slightly unstable, changes filter resonance to sound more like a moog, and overdrives the VCA", then I would have some idea what it does, but all it describes there is some kind of glorified EQ
