One thing I've always noticed about emulations, is that pretty much across the board, their VCOs just sound so much brighter than any actual VCO I've encountered. I no longer have anything actually vintage, but I do have a Studio Electronics ATC-X that's got Moog clone VCOs on board, and they pretty much attribute the same kind of roll off as other hardware VCO based synths that I own. If you look at them in a spectrum analyzer, the software will have this perfect straight line of diminishing partials, but that doesn't ever seem to be the case with actual VCOs. Why? Is it computationally expensive to model the output of a VCO?
