Well, the drums are definitely not HT, unless you put them through some incredible processing, but still hard to believe. On the other hand, the noise swooshes (pshew...) are definitely HT. Very nice pice, but the drums are not HT.
@dvamateur I agree. Definitely not HT drums - the 'kit' on the HT 3000/ 700 has a typical big 80's sounding snare. The kit playing here does not sound anything like the HT series (not even the HT 6000 that has extra kits). It is however a great and underrated synth that has DCO's and 2 x analogue filters (one for the main voice, one for the chord/ rhythm section). It is not a digital synth in the sense of FM or Phase Distortion, the sound generation is analogue. :-)
Great demo - I have a HT700 and I'm amazed of the sounds you can get out of that thing, as-is or with FX. The neat thing is that in addition to analogue substractive synthesis, it also uses a form of additive synthesis, which applies to some of the waveforms, and utilizes the VCA envelope to sweep between different frequency partials, hence the extra parameters in the envelope. This results into tones that evolve/change over time without the use of a filter, similar to Seiko DS series synths.
Er... technically, it's an analogue hybrid synth! The DCOs have quite a few waveforms as well as the usual squares and sawtooths, and it has one genuine voltage-controlled filter (two, in fact, since it's bitimbral). The Korg Poly-800 has a similar architecture... and nobody calls that digital.
