I've been racking my brain trying to remember more, but can't...
What I do seem to remember is that I'm sure this has been suggested before...
that the sound was based on a particular console, but I'm not sure if there's
any truth to it. I can just remember talk of it previously, but it's a very
vague memory... can't remember who or where... doh!
I do however think there is some truth to the general analog modelling idea,
in terms of the paris DSP chips. I mean they have 4 overflow bits for starters.
I've never heard a proper run down of how the four overflow bits function,
(Chuck did explain some of it, but not all) but it seems clear to me that
it obviously influences the sound you're going to get once you go past the
zero point. Of course these chips go back to well before Paris. I think the
ASR keyboards may have been the first to have them. Whether *they* were modelled
off a given peice of gear is another question.
They certainly were designed with audio in mind, as opposed to mathematics.
Cheers,
Kim.
