For the record, for all i'm worth, A: file in Test 1 is the hardware! No doubt about it. B: file is the FG116. Please Steven, i'm not being disrespectful, if i'm right, and i'd nearly bet my life on it, the hardware tone in file A: pure magic! If A: file does actually turn-out to be the FG116, I BEG OF YOU STEVEN, PLEASE WOULD YOU GO BACK AND REFINE THE ALGOS. Therte is an audible difference. Test A: file was pure fu_king magic.



And if test A: file was your FG116, then for the record i'm truly blown away, and as such IMO software has surpassed hardware and my full respect to you Steven (although you already had my full respect anyway).



Unless there's some discrepancy in the settings, clearly Slate Digital is only achieving 90% emulation, and clearly the missing 10% is what's needed to get total authenticity.



Test 2... A: file is the hardware, and B: file is the FG116. To me in the second Test files, again the A: file seemed to have that elusive organic fluidity to it, and the B: file seemed a tad clinical and brittle/digital.





Test 3... A: file is the FG116. The B: file has a beautiful fluidity that sounds musical and endearing to the ear combined with a lovely transparency. B: file is definitely the hardware this time.





If i have got all three correct, then Steven, i hope you will listen to me on this and redo the algos of the FG116, and that also means you'll need me for your next blind A/B tests for whenever you do your next emulations, because apparently whoever you got to do the blind A/B listening tests before releasing some of your plugins needs to get their hearing checked, or else your mantra of "I don't release them until they are 100% accurate" is not quite the case.
