TAL Pha vs MKS 50 / Alpha Juno II

This video compares our hardware MKS 50 with the TAL-Pha audio plug-in, which emulates the sound of the hardware device. The videos try to capture the essence of some sounds. You will not hear beautiful melodies, just some raw hardware factory presets. I’m also a bad piano player. Probably someone else can make a better video. You can find the software here: The tests are carried out with the factory presets of the hardware. Both synthesizers play at the same time. We alternate the output every few seconds. The sequencer shows the volume curves; the first channel is the software and the second is the hardware. The first row of the spectrum analyzer shows the software synthesizer. The second row is the hardware. The oscilloscope on the top shows the master channel with the waveform of the final output. The MKS 50 is an analog device. Things will never match exactly. LFOs and DCO phases are free-running and never match. Volume, resonance intensity, and hardware envelopes are slightly different for each voice. The intro is done with the software emulation and it’s internal FX. Notes: We improved some things like the envelope, the chorus, and also the bass boost after we made this video.
