Subject: SDS5 compared to SDS7

From: "scottgibbons23" <scott@...>

I've got an SDS800 and SDS7; have no first-hand experience with an SDSV.

I've read that the SDS8/800 is a budget version of the SDS7, but to my ears the analogue section of my SDS7 has a very different character than my SDS800. I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) the SDS7's analogue voices DCO while the SDS800 are VCO, and the CEM's are probably different too.

So I'm wondering... What other unit would you compare the SDSV to? (Ignoring the digital section of the SDS7, just comparing the analogue section obviously!)

all my best,
