Could/would/should be interesting to hear them back to back as to what is the real sonic difference between them...
No worries matte. I've just played with my 909. At first you can hear really dry loop for the floor then one mixed. I mixed it for kinda 2 minutes, just to add some color to my taste.

Then loop2 with the same thing but different instrument. First dry (pure) then mixed. I only used compression here, not eq or whatever.

I strictly used word "mixed" because with the real thing it is so easy to mix and get whatever you want with it. It is so rewarding to mix it. With some emus you can get deadly close to that sound but a lot of mixing. I tried to mix Arturia 909 just to get a bit close to real 909 but even with long mixing sessions, a lot of tricks i couldn't get near close to original 909, clap is especially poor. Bassdrum is whimpy.

Listen to real thing. It is groovey, full of character and and alive. Can you get same dynamics and presence with arturia? I couldn't get kick not even close to this..Am i missing something?
