But for most better gear from the 70s to the 90s you don't get all the needed spare parts for a sane price and there are no good remakes. Just take a look at the prices for nowadays Dave Smith or Moog synth. Dave Smith does produce new versions of the CEM chips and it's said the sound of his new gear should be as good as of his old products. I have nothing heard about the new Moogs. I suspect there are no modern synth usable as replacements for all the Roland, Oberheim and many other vendor's synth. Non of the emulated ARPs, Rolands, Oberheims and even digital DX7 (the first) emulations can compare to the original synth. I own one of the first DX7, since it's my first synth from the 80s. My soundcard is a RME. If you compare the DX7 with Hexter it's like comparing something living with a zombie. The only good analog synth I own at the moment is the Matrix-1000. No modern analog synth, let alone any virtual analog synth does produce such warm, living sounds. Warm and brillant/clear, not muddy ;). It's like comparing the sound of children plastic guitars, with a guitar made of expensive old dried woods.

I just realised this conversation isn't held over LAU... :D Right, so sorry about not so ubuntustudio relevant messages. I figured out later than soon, because not long ago Luigi Verona (on [LAU]) released a techno/trance album filled with TB/TR sounds produced only with free software. http://www.louigiverona.ru/?page=projects&s=music&t=another_reality -- Set Hallstrom AKA Sakrecoer http://sakrecoer.com -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

There are some very good clones today. http://www.x0xclones.com/review-cyclone-analogic-bass-bot-tt-303/ Some more expensive than others.

Fortunately or unfortunately I'm that old, that I know the original
machines of the 80s ;). The big problem with old gear that I prefer over
new gear, let alone virtual sound devices, are CEM/Curtis and some other
chips aren't available by a sane price range anymore, so maintaining old
gear is only possible for the rich. Is the TR and TB emulating software
still available free ware? I would like to hear it on my machine.

Ralf
