Another guess a synth thread

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

Ok here is my final guess....i havent really got a clue

1) analog (andromeda a6)
2) va (jp8080)
3) analog (Pulse)
4) va ()
5) va (supernova2 rack)
6) analog? (novation super bass station)
7) va (virus)
va (microQ)

You have got 7 synths? But 8 clips? Can I guess and say that for clip 4 you used Synth1 (which you sneakily downloaded late last night hehe

Spill da beans! This is fun!

I want to see 1 or 2 totally new votes (only 3 people currently voted) and then I will reveal the truth!

Be 7 russian plugins and a stylophone

Ok!

It seems that everybody has voted who was interested so here are the 7 russians and 1 xyloponey:

synth1, VA, JP8080
synth2, VA, MicroQ
synth3, Analog, A6
synth4, Half analog, Super Bass Station
synth5, VA, Powercore 01
synth6, Analog, Pulse
synth7, VA, Virus Powercore - Disqualified -
synth8, VA, Supernova 2

In fact I noticed that the "synth7" clip accidentally included some pitch modulation too so it sounded more "analog" than it should be. So that clip is disqualified.

This demo clearly shows that sometimes it's very hard to tell if a synth is analog or virtual analog if you hear only a pure 1 oscillator tone. But if you listen very carefully with high quality headphones for example and turn the volume up, you can hear the slight differences. Usually analog synths have more bottom end and square wave sounds warmer and fuller and even a little hazier.

This kind of test would be interesting if somebody had time to program identical but more complex patches with every synth but this time I didn't have so much time. The differences between the synths would have become more obvious.

Btw, DS' latest voting coupon was quite good.

LOL - didnt get a single one right this time

Ive just loaded clips 2 and 3 into a wave editor - they are so perfectly similar and aligned they could be different modes of the same synth.

I thought you had a TI allready - hence why I though they were a TI


BTW - DS should be disqualified for knowing what synths you actually had - lol

Have a look at that Nord G2 vs Moog stuff I posted to the other test thread. Some guy basically made the same sounds on a G2 and a Moog - you can barely tell them apart.
