It's hilarious to see someone who thinks you can only make these things with some type of magical hardware hahaha

Congrats... But it is irrelevant.
Clearly 99% of people use the word "electro", in this day and age, in reference to the modern electro inspired house genre. You don't need to go on this elitist rampage. Relax, you will give yourself a hernia.

if you had ever used it, you would know it really is magical.

my monopoly sounds sooo much different than other peoples, and I love it. Does your pro53 vsts have its own character?

thats called magic.

also you guys are talking complete shit anyways, if old hardware is so obsolete why are they making vsts that sound different the longer you leave them open?

(they are trying to imitate the way a synth changes as it warms up, but they fail of course, because thats so inconsistant from synth to synth)

I don't use pro53 and i also don't make trance.
Btw pro53 is an emulation of a Sequential Prophet5 not a monopoly so that's a rather odd comparison.
All my vst synths surely do have their own character,if you'd ever given softsynths a try you would've known that.

Have you got any proof of that,because i've never heard of something like that.

my friend told me the arturia arp2600 vst behaved like this. I have no experience with it though.

I beleive there was a roland space echo emulator that did the same thing.

Besides that theres lots of other things like that. Like instead of your synth naturally drifting, you guys have a osc drift knob...but its just not the same.

I just looked on the arturia site and there's no mention of such a feature at all,so i'd say your friend is wrong.
Btw i too have a friend and he's telling me that your friend is probably made up.

both the prophet5 and the monopoly are analogue synthesizers, and as a result each and every synth will have character different from its brother of the same model.

They aren't even made by the same company.

no but they both are analogue synthesizers

what do you not understand about
your prophet 5 will sound different than your friends prophet 5
my monopoly sounds different than other people monopolys
buy a cs80, its the only cs80 that sounds exactly like that.

of course, its up to you to design the good sounds, but it sure helps to be in love with your equipment, to feel its warmth, its character, for it to communicate with you, not just a one way street.
