Adding "Analog Warmth" to Your Digital Synth (Reaktor 6 Primary) | Simon Hutchinson

Some ideas on how to add some beautiful (analog?) imperfections to your Reaktor synths in Reaktor Primary.

The definition of "analog warmth" is pretty nebulous, but it brings to mind things like tube distortion and tape saturation--imperfections to the "fidelity" of the sound. Digital sound has imperfections too, of course, but these are aesthetically different (though perhaps no less interesting). In this video, though, I talk about some ideas in how to imitate the imperfections of analog in our digital Reaktor 6 synths.
