Automation on software is more in time to my hardware tweaking, but it's a fairly reasonable comparison.
First four bars are static with all knobs far left.
I've done a screenshot so you can see what's happening at what point in time on the audio stems (may choose to upload each stem to your own daw for example).
Everything is reasonably level matched. So both units are set to max volume.
The stems start with all settings (Cutoff/Res/Env Mod/Decay/Accent) to 0/far left and increases over 2 bars for each, stays static for 2 bars then the next and so on, then the second half of the stem in reverse.

The clicking you hear on the ABL3 is due to the software so there's a bug, my asio is fine (not spiking) and no audio clipping at the set points the clicks kick in.

I'm a beta tester for ABL3, so I'll make note of it with the beta-testers and Audiorealism.

Hope this is of help to some people.

Thanks for this. They sound quite different to my ears, especially the square wave - I much prefer the Xoxbox square, it seems to have this kind of almost compressed quality to it that analog synths have, you notice when comparing to soft synths. The saw is bit closer, though the Xoxbox seems to be brighter. Also ABL was much louder in this instance. Not too bad this Abl it seems, might demo it and compare to my friends hw 303 (lucky bastard!)
