They both sound good to me...just different. I like the dark energy over all, but its $400-$450 dollars more...and there's something to be said about a synth you put together yourself.
Hi! Interesting comparison man! But, actually, isn't the filter of the shruthi analog? As far as i know It's not totally digital, but it's a hybrid synthesizer...or not?
@longdivision87 True, analog filter on the Shruthi. But I'm not using the filter on either synth here (max cutoff, zero resonance), just comparing the oscillators.
that lil digital monster has an impressive sound i must say, but it really misses the "warm" tone of the analogue synth. dunno call me a lunatic but i must say that i always found digital sound missed someting...
@aikighost Pretty easy. 3 or 4 hours. Make sure you get all the resistors in the right place though, I got a couple mixed up and it took me a little while to figure it out.
ok, thanks. i'm currently looking for a low-budget and powerful synth with analog modellisation. this was quite objective and far interesting. i definitely have to get a shruthi.

Analogue is far more better! Digital is for shit!

How hard was it to assemble the Shruthi-1? Seems like a nice little digital beast.

the Dark Energy sounds way better in my opinion :)
