Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] Commercial Trance

In fact - I am not sure on this of course , but I suppose there should be a
difference in how the filters work ..
In AN1x or ViRUS or ... we have a digital emulation of an analog VCF - the
algorithm in AN1x for the filter is to emulate VCF ...
And in the samplers we usually have just the usual digital LPF or HPF filters
which were not specifically created to emulate the
analog filters.
And I in fact disagree that Samplers COVER analog emulation synths ..
Saying this - any romplers which have sine , saw and some other waves cover analog
em. synths - and that's of course a funny statement.
