Are iOS analogue synths actually analogue
Or are they digital recreations?
I mean, iOS devices are digital right?
Comments
Yes
Definitely analogue. No doubt. Just listen to Zeeon or Model 15. Case closed.
Yes all IOS synths are digital, even the most analogue sounding are digital recreations.
Yup. The voltage fairy comes at night when you’re sleeping and goes to work on the inside of your iPad after your app purchase.
Some people would argue that they are not actually synthesizers either.
I would say they are virtually analog.
Only the iPad versions are analogue. It’s too much work to do analogue on the iPhone.
Analogue traditionally refers to being comprised of electrical components: capacitors, resistors, potentiometer, etc. By this definition nothing on your iPad is analogue - it is a digital because is is comprised of computer code.
Analogue in the sense of an "analog synth" refers to a digitally created or "virtual" recreation of an analogue circuit, or a synthesizner inspired by older analogue synthesizers. This is more of a stylistic choice now by the developer as to how they want the synth to behave and therefore sound.
Hope that helps.
I really did laugh out loud.
Proper analogue

In theory virtual analog means it's a digital simulation of an analog circuit. But in practice it varies. Some 'virtual analog' synths (and amps) are very accurate models of old circuitry. Other virtual analog synths simply use digital techniques that get you closer to that analog sound. As to which is better... well it depends.
cant wait for the iPad Pro Analogue version
Probably be big as a old CRT TV, but it sounds so good and warm
No....but some of them sounds like they were
Velocity sensitive keyboard.
I think the closest to analog emulation we have on ios would be Moog 15 and Ivcs3, which as soon as they are opened maintain the signal flow just like old analog synths did back in the days. And it shows in the richness of their tunes.
OK, somebody's got to say it, so I will: Proper catalogue.
Looks moggy to me.
Sounds great with a fuzz pedal.
@Love3quency you gotta admit this is a clickbaity thread at this point....
We live in the matrix (simulation), so all analog synths are in fact digital.
btw. what a thread!
All this concern about being ‘analog’, when the latest way to sound nirvana is reduction! We need bit reduction on everything. We need a whole new era of 8 and 12 bit sound. We need reduced available track counts. We need less less less of everything except hair! We need more and big hair - yes we need to go back to the 80’s
I'm partial to 6bit actually. 8bit is too many bits!
Many lols
There is no such thing like a digital synth. Why?
(...stamping my foot on the ground, to give these cheesy arguments a bit more weight, physically)
Depends if you have a headphone
Anything else is cheating!
It's all abstract with a little dash of uncertainty, so usually it enters the analogue domain at some point, then the observers ears, maybe then the brain.
Also. The ipad itself isn't digital. It has physical components. Hence analogue.

Indeed, this is the closest to a real analog synth - it's impossible to keep in tune.
