Are the VST Instruments which are based on classic synths really as good as the originals?
Well, they don’t go out of tune as easily, but most developers have managed to capture the quirks of filter response, envelope shape, and oscillator waveforms that made the originals what they were. Of course, nearly all analogue synths went through a period during their lifespan where refinements and component changes were made, so they don’t have one truly definitive sound. However, the bottom line is that each tribute VST Instrument can make unique sounds that true enthusiasts will recognise and enjoy as a modern variation on the original.
