Eep! I didn't mean to cause offence, and certainly wasn't try to cast aspersions on the demo's quality, especially when you were kind enough to post a link. When someone puts together a musical track, I have a huge amount of difficulty figuring out which aspects of an oscillator's sound are inherent in the oscillator, and which are down to post-processing, compression or the level of resonance someone's used on their filtered osc, etc. I should also have added that the ring mod in that demo sounds much nicer than I expected, given the complaints people have made about the Doepfer VCOs being so 'dirty'. Again, huge apologies for managing to sound so rude!
