They're also impossible to keep in tune, sound wildly different with small changes in temperature, and have a really terrible signal to noise ratio.

- louthy 10y agoDCO synths don't have tuning problems, modern VCO synths (like the OB-6) have built-in tuning circuits. Even on the older gear that needs manual tuning (like my SH-101), it doesn't take too long to tune. If a synth is drifting wildly, then it's more likely to be a fault/time for reconditioning. In terms of signal-to-noise, well yeah they're all noisy, but not terribly if you do your gain staging properly, and gate anything that's excessively noisy. Actually the noise is part of the character of the imperfection. Look at emulations of classic gear, and they're all digitally putting the noise back in.
