Interesting shootout with hardware

[wavemechanic]

UPDATE AGAIN: Reverting this more or less to my original post, since it turns out the original hardware uses 24dB filters in both Arp and Behringer. The resonance of the hardware filter doesn't clip like it does in CA2600. It would be nice if the software behavior was more like the hardware. Is that something that can be addressed in future updates?

Did he conduct that entire test with the CA's filter on 24db? Couldn't that alone account for the difference? IIRC the hardware version is only 12, which (especially when dealing with high resonance) would result in much tamer levels?

@tgrey, I posted a comment on the video. The author got understandably concerned and rechecked the hardware specs, finding that the Behringer 2600's filter is 24dB per octave. I then checked the ARP hardware specs and found that it too was 24dB per octave. So I deleted my original video comment and replaced it with an apology. It sure looks like the filter resonance is quite a bit different between the CA2600 and at least the behavior of the Behringer 2600, which I'm going to assume is closer to the ARP.

This is so weird, I could have *SWORN* the hardware was only a 12db/oct filter... now I'm wondering where I picked up that incorrect bit. I'll drop a quick word in the yt comments as well.

Guess I also need to go check how children's book authors spell their names in this new alternate timeline I've entered into
