Warm 80ies sounds on A4/AK: it's possible

[avantronica]

there’s lots of misconceptions about what’s possible with such a deep synth, but therein lies its strength, it’s super flexible at the price of a bit of immediacy plus it helps if you understand synth sound design

Why can't the A4 do warm pads & chords? [SOLVED]

If you set either low pass to 60 or lower, the body disappears and the level heavily attenuates. I then find myself raising the filter to get enough level but then it’s too bright to be a warm sound. I’ve downloaded countless packs and made hundreds of my own sounds, but the closest I can get is using key tracked resonance on F2 to boost lower mids. But this is unwieldy and still not “warm”. My assessment points to the filters but I remember reading that the osc waveforms aren’t “true” in lowe…
