Re: Olivier Gerber's "Auralesque" JAG based vector synthesizer

2005-08-20 by grantrichter2001

I just wanted to point out that the reason VCOs sound different, is not
that some are closer to perfection, but that most are further away. The same
is true of filter designs. Most have too much distortion to be called high fidelity.

The modules in the Auralesque were obviously selected to provide the tasteiest
range of funkiness. I mean if you want to talk about distortion, how much distortion
does a sawtooth animator produce?
