Question about Casio's SD synths DCOs

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>I'll just touch a sensitive topic, i hope not to get burned at the stake by the analog purists hahah. I know that by many, DCOs are treated as &quot;real analog&quot;, like the alpha juno, korg poly-800 and others from the era. But Casio's SD synths (with variable waveform DCOs 8 voice polyphonic and true analog VCF-VCA ) are sold as junk for 80 € while the korg poly 800 is up to 400-500 € with much less functionality and, well, the price of an alpha juno is near the 700 € now. Appart from the aesthetics and sound preferences, are Casio DCOs really a different tech and are just digital waveforms or is it just that no one has catched up on this and we have to get some HT-3000 while they are cheap?</p> <p>I've done some searches online and there is some mystery around how the waveforms are produced, but they are always referred to as &quot;digital synths&quot; with analog filter, while korg and roland DCOs are treated as analog synths.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Cahuin"> /u/Cahuin </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/u1xzlr/question_about_casios_sd_synths_dcos/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/u1xzlr/question_about_casios_sd_synths_dcos/">[comments]</a></span>
