[A6] A vs D?

I have never heard a digital sizer (ROM player/Sampler/VA or FM) being able
to recreate a classic analogue sound. If you don't think your AnalogBass
preset on your JV2080 sound fat and analogue then you haven't played a
Minimoog Mode D. That's phatt!!

On the other hand an analogue sizer can't recreate a real piano, strings,
guitar. a digital sizer can. What I mean is, if you want a analogish sound
then use a real analog sizer and if you want pianos and other real sounds
use a digital sizer.

I have a Model D from 1972 and it is so organic and fat. I also just got my
Minimoog Voyager Anniversary Edition. I did an A/B test between the old and
new Mini. I created the same sound, a bass sound on both sizers. I started
with the Voyager and it sounded just lovely, warm and fat as a Moog should.
I then created the same bass sound on the Model D and I got really
surprised!!
The Model D sounded much more organic, warm and phatt!! The Voyager didn't
stand a chance, it almost sounded as a Roland Juno106. :-) The Voyager
sounds really good, fat and analogue and sounds mor fat then other analog
sizers but it can't beet the original.
