Yeah...the placebo FX! :)

With these setting Filter 3 sounds best to me, while Filter 5 is also nice. Filter one sounds broken, and Filter 4 also has some of the grit of Filter 1. Filter 2 and 3 do not differ too much.
Not a bad example then :)

For a long time I'd convinced myself that 5 was the expensive algo because it is so well behaved, and muted up high.

This behaviour very much turned me against it however.

I'm just glad I said wayyyyyy before hints were dropped that I was leaning towards 3. :tu:

Of course :lol: This says it all :roll: I'd say that, given the results, if it is that much more expensive CPU wise, the difference doesn't pay, since it was perceived by the vast majority as inferior to others. In the end, we may conclude that there is no clear answer to the original question, and it very much depends on the musical background of each one, age, musical preferences, and even past experience with analogue synthesizers. Something I must say I was expecting.

Well, if 3 is the most expensive then this poll proves that the folks at KVR have crappy ears.

The poll says it all.

No, IMO; it just proves that it doesn't stand out as much as could be expected, which means that more expense doesn't pay. OTOH, having so many people preferring #4 (which sounds broken to me) may prove that theory about the crappy ears :hihi:

BTW: For me #2 was he second best, which means I am clearly apart of the crowd, since I voted in the fourth and fifth :x Maybe my ears are crappier than average :borg:

So, was there a solution? 3 is the most expensive algorithm? But is it also the one which is closest to the Pro-One filter in u-he's opinion?

Post

So, Urs told us that all the algorithms sound like 3 for a very high oversampling ratio / sampling frequency, and that the high oversampling ratio 3 sounds like 3 at 96 kHz. Which means that this is the most accurate algorithm, and that all the other ones are approximations of 3 with a lower CPU load.

They are all models of the same filter, just implemented differently. By the looks of it, option 3 is the most expensive algorithm, ie the one that is the most mathematically accurate implementation of that model.

The question of the poll was "To your ears, which filter behaves most analogue?". In reality this is a highly subjective and individual question. It means that no answer is wrong or right, or you can say all are wrong or right. No one have crappy ears, just different taste.

In reality you can have 2pcs of Pro-One hardware standing next to each other and I guarantee they will not sound exactly the same. Many factors come into play. Hardware and components have it's natural tolerances, aging of components matters, etc. I voted filter 5 because it sound most analogue to me and obviously to 58 others. But most people (91 to be exact) seems to think filter 4 sounds most analogue. I have no problem to accept that result and I bow for the majority.

hehe couple that with folks who have eyesight issues (i.e trouble finding volume dials) I'd say technology like the Repro is wasted on us.

just kidding :)

Alright, thanks. :)

Is the Linux version available yet?
