Analog Vs Digital

Analog vs Digital! There are digital components in many of the analog synths and the digital synths made currently all have several analog-mimicking aspects. It is just technology to produce sound. This notion that there's some type of competition between analog and digital is silly.

agreed.

let's now move to the next point of discussion:

PC or MAC?

Let's please be concise, because we've got a full schedule tonight: we need to sort out the "korg or yamaha" issue as well before the townhall meeting adjournes.

Last night I spent 1 hour fine tuning a patch I need for a song.

It is just 3 knob twists away from the "init" setting of the voyager's panel,

and I spent 1 hour working on the correct allocation of key velocity to "wave form of oscillator 1".

It dramatically changes the mood of a solo, because I need some "talking" quality in the patch, but too much "wha" will produce a "I'm a moog and I own this place" effect.

* 49% of the solution is in my fingers,

* 49% of the solution is in the quality of moog's components (i.e.; what happens if I twist the "wave" knob 1 or 2 degress left, and get a response [message to moog: the 25/50/100% setting for velocity is awful. Work on a more detailed response]

* 1% is in the quality on my wife's coffee

* the remaining 1% is about menus, features, "model 1" versus "model 1 pro", "model pro" versus "model EX", etcetera.

Forum space allocation on the internet is exactly contrary

* 98% discussing "voyager vs access"
* 1% about making your own coffee (because no wife seems to find a place in clogged studios filled with walls of synths)
* 1% about fingers and ears.

Only in this world a question like "analog or digital" can supposedly make any sense.

In other words: nerdish

It is a cleaner signal that actually allows for mor modulation possibilities.
Just look at the MicroWave XT.... or any of the Roland workstations.

Each can "act" as a mono synth as well.

Please discuss.

There are awesome analog synthesizers and awesome digital synthesizers.

There are crappy analog synthesizers and crappy digital synthesizers.

Any combination can co-exist in a track or in someone's studio. It's all a matter of preferences.

Ozy, don't let her see this percentage or you'll be making the coffee yourself OUTSIDE the studio!

Just how far can this go, before the MODS trashcan the thread?
