Is it analogue or digital? Sorry for sounding stupid, but I just heard a bunch of analogue synths capable of sounding like 8bit or close to it.
@PTechnicalOriginal10 жыл бұрын
By definition, if it's 8bit it's digital. Basic pulse/noise waveform's generated by an 8bit processor, 1980's home computer style. These are modulated in various ways to produce effects, but if you notice - no filter. You can produce the same kind of tones with analog, with basic raw open filtered patches. If you're asking mate, shows you're not stupid...
@soylentgreenb10 жыл бұрын
PTechnicalOriginal By definition, if it's outputing audible noise, there's some amount of analog circuitry involved. The voices, ring modulus and hard sync are digital, and the filter effects are analog (implementing a FIR filter or similar would have been much too expensive).
@PTechnicalOriginal10 жыл бұрын
