Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Sorry, english is not my native language, i have difficulties to
express my thoughts. I agree with you that all these old classics
sound very different. But old monosynths share together a special
quality in sound that I have never encountered in the various modern
recreations I heard. Note that there are too many plug ins, virtual
analogs out there, so that I am far from knowing them all.

I wanted to say that the Evolver did'nt change the situation in this
respect. If you want to make simple drone music a la Eliane Radigue,
you have to find a Arp 2600.

I will never get rich enough for an Arp 2600, but I have had a MS20
for many years, and I feel that it will remain forever the nervous
center of my studio. May be it's just thatI know it very well...
I said that the Evolver is the only synth I take to play live.
This imply that I spent really a lot of time with it, but after one
year, I cannot say that I know it very well...

was not typically analog(ue) in the sense that it is rather "bad" at
emulating other vintage analogs? I mean the Jupiter8 was insanely
"bad" at emulating an Oberheim 4-voice. And vise versa, and . .  
OMIGOD, ALL TRUE ANALOG SYNTHS ARE NOT TYPICALLY ANALOG(UE)!!!
