How accurate are the module clones compared to their hardware versions to the people who used them?

It’s part of the 2.1.0 update (not in library) of Audible Instruments found here :

And there is also this :

If you want the Dead Man’s Catch firmware with some extras, there’s also Mortuus available.

Both Apices and Mortuus are available in the Library :wink:

I’ve just been playing around with Mortuus now, awesome stuff!

Hello,

I would like to flip this question on its head if I may and ask, what kind of VCV rack oscillator sounds the best in respect to being run out of code on to circuitry that exists in most soundcards in normal office computers?

What I try to ask is what kind of sound is most true to its own nature when generated from a computer?

What sound or sounds is most native of the office laptop computer?

The Oscar for Most Native Office Computer Sound goes to:

reminds me of this:

This is acoustic though …

Yes I would say this is it, at from 0:21 to 0:56 this sound is purely digital by nature. Now my questions is what soundscources in VCV rack outputs these purely digital sounds the best?

Waldo,

I think this sound is actually analog, It is from analog phone time paradigm …

I want to say TV-game music but I think that most of the old units like C64 and Nes, Snes had hybrid analog chips inside of them?

Longplay: Duke Nukem - Episode 1: “Shrapnel City” (1991) [MS-DOS]

I think the sounds from here is purely digital?

In this realm of sounds when the engine is a computer…

(nowadays they have other soundcards in them than the 286 and 386 so I would love to hear your comments on it)

…competes on its own turf so nothing else can be within reach of it…

The soundchip of the NES is purely digital.

Ricoh 2A03 - Wikipedia

The Ricoh 2A03 is a digital sound generator integrated into the NES’s main processor. It synthesizes sound using digital registers and logic to produce waveforms—such as pulse, triangle, noise, and sample playback—which are then output as analog signals. In essence, while the synthesis itself is digital, the final audio signal is delivered in analog form.

"Opulus is a recreation of the Yamaha OPL2 (YM3812) FM chip. This chip was widely used on 90’s soundcards like the Ad Lib and were responsible of producing the sound of uncountable videogames… "

The telephone call I would say has a more complex waveform but still purely digital as native, so can we maybe find its scource too? =) :partying_face: :santa:

The Yamaha OPL2 (YM3812) FM chip operates by performing its synthesis digitally. It uses digital control registers and arithmetic to calculate FM synthesis parameters and generate its sound waveforms.

It also says … However, like many such chips, it ultimately outputs an analog audio signal. So while its sound generation process is digital, the final audio is provided in analog form.

But yes, purely digital. :partying_face:
