So I was bored and I played around with them a bit - I tried to recreate presets in other synths. I discovered that this was pretty hard because even the Saw wave sounded different from synth to synth. I always thought the main difference was the aliasing algorithm than prevents harmonics from going "over the top" BUT I realized the main differences werent in the high like one would probably think, they were in the lowend. So when I play a C0 on different synths there are differences like day and night.
the one thing that amazed me was that sytrus(even in draft mode) and sylenth1, which are both pretty old synths, had the "cleanest" sound of them all.
My question would be:
why is that ? I mean Serum is always praised as "the cleanest synth" ever ... but actually it is sytrus
(I also checked the high end differencies)
p.s. Serum is on max. quality here, so is Zebra.
