Is that some sort of disease?

Maybe by definition.. but I think most people know the difference between a buzz and a tone.

It's purely a matter of interface that insipres with analog. Which has nothing to do with a listener.. it's about making new music. Not recreating typical analog leads and bass... but flicking switches and things not readily available on digital synths and even VA's.

Who is this typical listener? Is the typical listener a typical person? Or the typical person that would go to a non-commerical show? I just want to be clear on this .. many people make this comment.

For me, the whole "analog synths are better because they don't need effects" argument doesn't carry much meaning.

1) I respect your keyboard playing keybdwizrd, I've seen some of your YouTube videos and they are good
2) Christina Aguilera has great tone and pitch, the effects are secondary ( edit: face/body = awesome)
3) I think of "music" as a series of tones/pitches , not an effects box
4) Of course effects are import, but they are not the focus

Yep i must have an analogue disease. I have been infected by it for the past 2 years.

I am soooo pleased im going 'all analogue'. I have just put my wavestation ex in the 'gear for sale section'.

i agree that it matter not what you use, but how the end result sounds... that said...

va's oscillators and filter sound like complete garbage compared to high end analogs.
the osc's are thin and whiny, and the filters sound dead and flat.

horrible c**p.

that is, of course, just my opinion

Whoever your "typical listeners" are, make music for 'em! And have fun doin' it!

I used to think analog didn't matter, but I changed my mind in the late 90's. Largely because while lots of my favourite recordings were done with digital instruments, just as many were done utilizing Moogs, ARP's, Oberheims, Prophets and the occasional EMS, RMI or (in the case of TOTO IV) Polyfusion product.
