Can /mu/ tell the difference between analog and digital synths?

Both of these are a saw wave being filtered by 24db filters, at 0 res, half res, and full res.

In 10-20 minutes I will post the answer, also ignore the bait image.

the final samples of the filter in both of them make me think b is analog. but they both sounded fine

A is a Prophet 8
B is a Microkorg

sound isn't objective, you can also get analog sound in digital anyways

pls don't bully me

>>60931891
No way. Did you make the second sample more reverb heavy on purpose to make it sound more analog compared to the bone dry first one.

There were 0 effects on either synth and both of them were recorded through the same mixer channel and cables. I think the microkorg starts to filter the sound a bit even at fully open.

this is super retarded. is like comparing a paint color mixed by hand and a paint color mixed by machine.

I like digital better, it's easier to walk up and down the waves

yeah the notion of staircase waveforms piss me the fuck off.

>>60931891
I always had an issue with the Microkorg and sold it to get a Microbrute. While two completely different synths, I could never quite get the sound i wanted with the korg, the brute on the other hand... god damn.

I know what you mean. A lot of using a synth isn't really the difference in sound, but how you feel using it.
