tube synthsizer

[Paul Maddox]

Martin,

 BINGO, the last quote hits the nail on the head...

" people hear a difference, because there IS a difference, but they
can't give the right explanation for the difference."

No war. 
That's interesting.

Unfortunately I don't have a Moog to listen to...  In the case of waldorf,
these are dcos, the saw has steps, and these can be heared very easy.

The problem is that in many non modular synths you actually can not
listen to the pure vco output...

It appears to me this way:
I.e. people hear a difference, because there IS a difference, but they
can't give the right explanation for the difference.
