Hello, the developers of Monark would like to give you a comparison between Monark and the specific "famous device from the 70s it was modelled after". For that we've prepared an audiofile.
The audiofile contains various phrases covering a wide range of sounds (basically a final checklist for us). You first hear the modeled device and then the same phrase remade with Monark.(Excuse the rather sloppy playing)Remember, this is no beauty/music contest, it just shows you the raw and real quality of both devices in normal and also rather extreme settings(One goal of this project was to have our clone work in ALL settings)
The knobs in Monark were scaled to match our hardware very closely and in most cases you immediately get a very good match.
Still setting up a single sound for A/B comparisons is a time consuming and annoying process so for the sake of sanity during this A/B comparison we allowed for "some" deviation.
This not an excuse but a fact! (We lost most of our sanity during cloning, anyway... the links: (original recordings made directly into a RME Fireface UC at 88.2 Khz. No other gear used)

I hear a subtle difference as well, but they're very close. I know which one is which, but only because they posted it somewhere (I thought it was in the quote that I posted above, actually, but I guess not). If not for that, I wouldn't know which is which, either.
