The Ultimate Analog Poly Synth 

Is your channel a parody account?🤣

@@toddphillips6583 he did inspire me but my music is quite different however still electronic 😉

@@matthiasschneider6398 I think he does use them in his newer projects

Just to twist knobs or get a very specific type of sound, i own hardware and it's very much not necessary and a luxury but they are very fun to use imo

@lizigyik although soft synths are pretty much there to replicate the exact sound, the analog versions sometimes can still provide a tiny bit better sound. But it's almost not noticable especially not when you listen to it in the context of a whole mix. But as the commenter above mentioned, it's a lot more hands-on and most people get into a much more productive workflow and get results a lot quicker. I also own a couple of hardware synths and I can tell you once you tried it out yourself you're hooked. It's magical what badass and beautiful sound come out of these machines. It's a similar feeling like the one you get when sitting in a sports car with an amazing growling engine. But yeah, you can absolutely create just as good music completely with soft synths, but so much in music is about getting into the right vibe to be creative and productive. And these machines can put you into the flow super fast.

Virtual instruments, or VIs, can suffer from the Nyquist theorem because the theorem states that a digital audio recording system must have a sample rate that is at least twice the highest frequency present in the analog signal it is recording. This means that if a virtual instrument generates signals with high frequencies, these frequencies may not be accurately captured if the sample rate of the digital audio recording system is not high enough. The Nyquist theorem can cause problems in virtual instruments because, in order to create the most realistic and accurate sound possible, virtual instruments often generate high frequency signals that are beyond the range of human hearing. These high frequency signals, however, must still be accurately captured in the digital recording in order to preserve the quality and realism of the sound. If the sample rate of the digital recording system is not high enough, these high frequency signals will be aliased, which means they will be distorted and will not sound as intended. To avoid this issue, it is important to use a digital audio recording system with a high enough sample rate to accurately capture the high frequency signals generated by virtual instruments. Additionally, it is important to use high quality converters to convert the digital audio signal to an analog signal for playback, as this can also affect the accuracy of the sound.

@@nodz007 really good point! Also the reason why many saturation and "analog vibe" plugins are not recommended. It's important that they provide an option for oversampling. Ideally 4x or even more.

Hot take. Hot as piss.

Really? I find its sound underwhelming, similar to other budget analog polysynths like Korg Minilogue or Dreadbox Nymphes. I'm lot more happy with softsynths like Subtractor.

the deepmind 12 sounds great but has a ridiculously tedious interface that's way too deep in many cases (too many presets, effects on small screens to navigate)

What does a matriarch cost?

I've done it already but not as a video. if you compare oscillators they all sound the same but if you stack oscillators the original is a lot more unstable which gives it a fatter more brutal sound and once you feed the headphone out into the external in - the feedback ist just from another planet. really good phat and crazy. those are the main sonic differences

@@Jonsine have you explicitly tried the UAD Minimoog? This one was in partnership in mood and I’ve noticed this has the best sounding feedback and filters. But I’ve heard similar things before that the plugins tend to nail the oscillators, but often struggle with the summing of the oscillators and filters. And then the feedback is apparently the worst thing that is emulated. But sounds interesting that you had replicated the above! I know Universal Audio are the kings of digital signal processing, and by far my favourite sounding emulation (despite only ever playing with the subsequent 37)

I love my Behringer model D - I use the presets from Arturia Mini and NI Monark and then copy them on my hardware unit - it really helped me understand how to program synths

Thank you very much!
