So you can... assuming you can get exactly the right random bias generated given any possible input - and the bias will depend on both the current input and potentially some recent input. This is significantly harder and more expensive than just going and building the analogue box, so nobody does it.
- joefourier 6y agoNobody does it? There's massive amounts of plugins that aim to do exactly that, along with DSP-based pedals and amps. For analogue synths, the well-designed VSTs are impossible to distinguish from the real thing in an A/B test. E.g. the Repro 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFA_B6pP9AA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFA_B6pP9AA You're right in the strict sense about analog random bias being hard to reproduce, but those are largely irrelevant when it comes to the important characteristics of the sound. In an A/B test, it is impossible to distinguish a well designed digital audio simulation from a real analog device.
- stagas 6y agoImpressive, both the instrument (Repro5) and the video. Can't believe the A/B voting results were as if they were random, everybody got about half right/wrong.
