TAL synths have per voice offsets. Same thing you’re talking bout?Not only do instruments vary between unit, but even among themselves can have different attributes per voice card. When I got my Nina, the filter calibration of each voice was a bit all over the place, which made it sound pretty bad if you were playing the filter in self oscillation, but glorious when playing a pad. Even after a calibration routine it was pretty loose, but I guess this was a bug and it got fixed in a firmware update. It’s still not perfect, but it’s now pretty tight, and to be honest I wrote to them and asked if they could include a way to loosen it back up. The guy who did all that vintage “Voice Component Modeling” research was really dead on correct about the true nature of nailing the sound of a vintage synth. It’s not “drift” that does it, but per voice offsets that really make a vintage analog synth sound great. I think his research got Sequential, Arturia and Groove Synthesis to incorporate algorithms that mimic his observations. I wish all synths did, because it can really do wonders on some sounds.There are sometimes mighty big differences between the hardware some people have and the hardware the VST was modelled after... depending on multiple factors.
