Subject: Re: Analogue authenticity?

I think my Ion sounds a bit more RA, but the AN comes in a very close
second(it can emulate a P5 better than the Ion). The 4 free EGs on
the AN can be used instead of an LFO to introduce a more
random "analog drift" effect. I like a very slight random modulation
of filter freq, as well as osc
pitch...

LFO's that isn't being used for modulation duties, to softly vary the
pitch of the VCO's. Something along the lines of +1 for VCO 1, and -1
for VCO 2, with the slowest LFO speed. This is on top of any other
modulation i may have going on...
