DIGITAL SCREAMS: how about measuring some of those filters in analog synths so us audiocoders get some tangible differences in audio to try and model? I always hear "analog is better" but its always purely subjective, never a pointer to a graph on =what= is actually better.. phaseresponse? nonlinear filtering based on amplitude? frequency response? random static noise caused by radio russia? Since the input/output of a filter is nicely 2dimensional, its not that hard to actually sit down and do the measurements if you have the synths available. (small sidenote: if you can hear the difference between an analog synth and a digital synth -on a cd- that means that at least the properties of an analog synth can be reproduced by a digital system.. which means its certainly worth checking out in what part of the signal chain things get interesting)
