Re: Closest module to an EMS Synthi / VCS3 VCO ?

2008-01-30 by michaeltritter

i have a synthi A and the RS500 and 510. i know that the 500 filter is supposed to be an 
exact rebuild of the synthi filters -- i don't think it quite matches the behavior, but it's 
still pretty good -- but since much of the charm of the synthi for me is its essential 
nastiness, i found that half of getting the synthi vibe out of the 500 filter module lies less 
in what oscillator i ran into it than in overdriving the input (and output) to distort. the 
trapezoid module and a joystick (AS or doepfer) go a long way toward a nice simulation 
(yes also the model 14).
