It is still something to discuss..
Ever listened to a minimoog compared to the andromedas software envs?
I really like the process knob and the optimizer..

But still there is a difference to the fast envs of the moog modular or
minimoog - it seems the curve itself may need optimization and the andro
went into the right direction.. Still it is not as fast as analogue ENVs..

Imo env slopes will become more interesting in VA and emulation..

So the "next post jupiter 8/post andro" synth may need higher speed
processors for envs (and lfos!!) ,too..
Beside mod and stuff..

The hardware and chip things:
Well you can still hear discrete and IC-sounds..

But there are some IC-based synths using the same chips (!!) that sound much
better then others..

See my list (if you got more, let me know!!):
Www.sequencer.de/synthesizer_chip.html

I assume most of you do own more than one analogue synth, so you may know
whats my point..

So: maybe it is "optimizing/adjusting ASICS AND discrete electronics"
It is also up to the way,those chips are made and how..

So it will keep very interesting & fascination in the future..
