Computer modelling an analogue synth

[Martin Fay]

I've just finished the first version of a realtime analogue synth 
emulator program, VAZ. I started from scratch just over 3 weeks ago, 
so I'm kind of surprised there aren't more commercial offerings along 
these lines, at the moment we only seem to have the Nord Lead, VLx and 
Prophecy, and the upcoming JP8000.

If there's anybody into synth simulation I certainly wouldn't mind 
discussing techniques etc.

Most relevant to this list, I'm wondering how well the program does
it's job, and who better to ask than a bunch of analogue fans who 
know how the machines work! I'd be very grateful for a critique of 
the program if anybody has time.

VAZ can be downloaded from 
  http://www.cp.umist.ac.uk/users/martin/vaz.html
and in a day or so at:
  ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub/pc/win95/sounds
and eventually all the mirrors of that. Windows 95 only for 
performance reasons I'm afraid.
