Liking that Vanguard sample actually.
One of my fav synths. |

Seriously? I think it's probably the worst of the bunch. Sounds horribly thin and raspy, despite the fact that I usually like Vanguard.
And there's the problem. Everyone has their own tastes but a few of the softsynths have proven that they can easily match hardware. Albino3 and Zebra sound fantastic. |

So I've listened to most of them now....
Thor: As I already said, not as cutting, or honky as the original.
Alchemy: Not at all close, much too detuned. And pretty plasticy sounding in a way too.
Zebra: Impossible to tell since theres delay/reverb. It IS my favourite, but I'm writing this down to the fact its got effects on it.
Z2ta: Close but more brittle sounding
Sylenth: different character, but pretty similar. Much grittier in the high midrange less gritty in the low
Albino: again, a different character. More gritty in the top end and less in the low mids
Massive: Different character, a lot smoother and less qritty
I wouldn't say that any of them really sound better than the others, the only ones I don't like are thor and alchemy. Massive, albino, Sylenth and Zebra all have really nice character of their own IMO. Massive certainly stands out as the most different, which might be because of my poor programming.
Could someone else have a crack at emulating the sound in Massive?
To me, its quite clear that theres as much diversity and excellent sounds amongst the VSTs as there are in the virus contingent.
Also could we PLEASE keep the discussion to a minimum. I just want people to post samples and other people to comment. No analogies about how synths are like women or cars, or cheese. Robby rox, please post a sample if that's what you believe. This thread is about not bullting, its about proof.
If anyone has analogue synths or Nord leads and they want to post samples of a sound and see if people can emulate it, then please do. |

I posted a Massive sample, along with six other synths, a few posts up. |

Cool, sorry I missed that one! Thats closer than mine in some ways.
What settings did you use? I think theres too much detune, but the character's similar. Sounds almost like you might be using a polysaw oscillator though? Which filter too?
I really like your korg mono poly version, thats very close to the original mickey sound. The imposcar one is awesme too.
The vanguard one is hideous though IMO, heaps too much detune and just not nice:eek: The other's are all a bit off IMO, but still intersting to hear, and it certainly proves the diversity of software. |

I don't remember the exact settings I used, but for oscillators I used the "square-saw" and for filter I used the plain Lowpass 4, I think with just a little resonance. You're right that there's too much detune in it, though.
I agree that the Mono Poly sound is probably the closest to the mau5 track. :p |

Cool, I'll have another go at it using the square saw Oscillator. It sound different to the Saw I and II oscillators. Were you just using plain spectrum mode or bend mode? I was using Bend+/- on it but it kept getting too smooth...
Edit: Actually just realised, I was using the square-saw II oscillator in the first place... |
