Real analog synthesizers usually have fat, heavy, massive, warm and juicy bass sound, sound that is cutting through
mix - it is loud and significant, you usually need just 2-3 analog synths and song sounds full, heavy and professional.

But... They are not stable. You cannot use them for fast EDM baselines, because they are clicking, blipsing,
automatically detuning, creating noise and artifacts etc.

Good example is fast psytrance baseline, if you use classic hardware analog synth it will be full of clicks, blips, noises
and constant de-tuning / instability.

But digital synths or chip based hardware synths usually have cold, boring sound, missing fattens and warmth of
their big analog brothers.

Some most expensive hardware analog synths has digital stabilized oscillators and this is how to make fast EDM
baselines stable. But they are very expensive. So we bought one bass analog, analyzed it, dismantled etc. in order
to emulate warm analog synthesis in computer.

Our team has education in electronic engineering, and while it was relatively difficult long term task we developed
our own ANALOG CIRCUIT EMULATION TECHNOLOGY.

What is Eplex7 DSP Analog Circuit Emulation Technology?

Difference between analog and digital synth is - In analog synthesizer all sounds are produced by combination of electronic
components as resistors, capacitors, transistors etc.

In digital synths (hardware or software digi synths) analogue synthesis is emulated by computer - simple digital numbers.

Why analog has fat nice warm sound and digital not? For example oscillator in digital synth is always the same waveform -
in analog synth oscillator is changing its tone, its shape, its phase, etc. changes are very small but they make natural analog
sound. In every module there is little bit of noise, saturation, interference caused by warming of electronic circuits.
Because analog components produce always different electric values, they act always little bit different, there is some kind
of noise, saturation, instability, interference in every module/part of analog synth.

For example oscillator in digital synth is always the same waveform - in analog synth oscillator is changing its tone, its
shape, its phase, etc. changes are very small but they make natural analog sound. In every module there is little bit of noise,
saturation, interference caused by warming of electronic circuits. Because analog components produce always different electric
values, they act always little bit different, there is some kind of noise, saturation, Instability, interference in every module
or part of analog synth. Analog filter changes his sound and behavior based on volume level of input signal, at some levels it
starts to saturating / creating pleasant distortion. While digital envelope is absolutely linear, shape of analog envelope is
always exponential / rounded. Signal is usually saturated / rounded / de-stabilized in every part of circuit of analog synth.



Firstly, we split code / schematic of whole synthesizer into individual virtual modules with own inputs / outputs. Every module
act similar like circuit of analog synth. We applied all analog instability emulation to every module – oscillators have analog
shape with higher harmonics, oscillators are constantly detuning, they have analog noise, phase instability, filter has its own
amplifier producing next analog low level noise as well as analog saturation and interference caused by warming of its circuits.

Envelopes have their own instability, exponential shape, interference and analog noise – envelope is not modulating amp or filter
with simple linear signal – this signal has its own virtual analog interference included in modulation signal (noise, hiss, analog
artifacts).

You can also shape output sound of Analog Bass Unit – with “Analog sound properties” panel with parameters: Warmth, Circuit
drive, FATness!, Analog hiss of all system, Electronic Interference, Circuit temperature, High frequency color...

Features:

detuning, phasing, instability, circuit warming artifacts) with following shapes: Analog Saw 1, Analog Saw 2, Analog Saw 3, Digital
Saw 1 (exp.), Digital Saw 2, Digital Saw 3, Digital Ramp 1, Digital Ramp 2 (exp), Analog Square 1, Analog Square 2, Digital Square

- Digital stabilization of analog oscillators switch
- Osc 1 + 2 analog style saturation knob
- Exponential analog style VCA amplitude envelope (exponential shape, modulating signal with analog interference, noise, artifacts)
- VCF filter digitally stabilized envelope (to avoid clicking and instability with fast basslines)

- VCF Analog Low Pass Filter with Saturation knob (Analog filter with true analog liquid tone, circuit interferences, distortion based
on input level)

- Panel for setting analog sound properties: Warmth knob, Circuit drive knob , FATness! knob, Analog hiss knob for setting up hiss level
