I’m super confused. What is the difference between regular analog and ‘ultra’?
Don’t over-think it. But don’t UNDER-think it either.
AAS makes really good, musical, virtual instruments. Ultra-Analog is a very nice sounding “modeled” virtual analog synth. It is only analog after the DAC. But in other ways it is pretty ULTRA.
