Eep! I didn't mean to cause offence, and certainly wasn't try to cast
aspersions on the demo's quality, especially when you were kind
enough to post a link.

When someone puts together a musical track, I have a huge amount of
difficulty figuring out which aspects of an oscillator's sound are
inherent in the oscillator, and which are down to post-processing,
compression or the level of resonance someone's used on their
filtered osc, etc.

I should also have added that the ring mod in that demo sounds much
nicer than I expected, given the complaints people have made about
the Doepfer VCOs being so 'dirty'.

Again, huge apologies for managing to sound so rude! (Note to self:
don't post while at work).
