Sure. Then I can list my:

Oh we can do hybrids?

They are all DCO synths with analogue after the fact..... They should still count, if we can add hybrids, as they are hybrid machines. Unless your talking about the later hybrids that just have an analogue filter, but that would be no fun would it!



alexP

I would think that we´re only talking hybrids here.....

A DCO is a digitally controlled analog oscillator.

If one would be splitting hairs, a Prophet-5 would be a "digital synth" since nearly all parameters are digitally controlled. But I don´t think anyone would accept that.

But, whatever works for you, I´m fine with that.



WT

removed

WOW !

That´s seriously cool !!

WT

LOL! I was just seeing how close to the line we could go


alexP

analog!


cheers,
Ian

Edited.....

Which makes them analog, given that a DCO is an analog oscillator.

Analog audio signal flow from beginning to end. Digitally-generated CV, but the synthesis is pure analog.

Yep, that's the kind of hybrid in question - some form of digitally-generated spectra, followed by D/A conversion, and then perhaps an analog filter and VCA.

Understood. PCM, phase accumulation, delta-sigma, wavetable interpolation, algorithmic parametric oscillators - they're good in terms of being digital.

DCOs - not so much. They'd be lovely to list on the original analog synth thread though!

Ian

Yamaha TX7
Yamaha VL-1m
Nord Micro Modular
Casio MT-40
Casio VL-1
Akai S612, if that counts
Akai S900, if that counts
Mirage, if that counts

that's pretty all i like so far in terms of "true digital synths" (i know, all my samplers have analog filters, that's why i'm asking, if they count ). i've got quite a lot of strange digital sounding VSTi's that are way more my taste than hardware. i don't know why i've never - exceptions mentioned above - really got to "dig" digital synthesis (e.g. of Nord Lead, Virus or K5000). maybe growing up in the eighties is the answer...

stop! there's one more i like: the Waldorf Pulse is nice, but i know, i wouldn't use it often enough to justify buying one (isn't its filter analog as well?).
