[sdiy] Moogey jitter - the old times were the oldest.

>same with analogue synths. they simply sound better.

Ah, but why do they sound better? In the end, a synthesizer is nothing 
more than an analog computer. The oscillators deliver certain waveform 
functions, the filters and amplifiers apply certain waveshaping 
functions.

There is no reason why the underlying mathematics can't be transformed 
into the digital world. But the problem rather is that up to now hardly 
anyone knows what the above functions *really* look like. So people are 
using approximations which come somewhat close but often lack the 
desired quality of the emulated original.

Once we know, how these functions *really* look like, those digital 
emulations would start sounding like the original.

But -- reading this discussion -- for the moment we don't even now how 
to measure and quantify "warmth", yet even how to model it.
