Right, I should be able to help out with this shortly. I have a number of devices I can offer, but I imagine most of them have already been covered.
- SC-55mkII
- SC-88ST
- SC-88ST Pro
- SC-8850
- MT-120
- PMA-5
An SC-33 is also arriving next week.
One thing I must say is that although the demo tracks are indeed very well programmed, they don't fully exploit the differences that can be heard between different engines employed in the devices. For example, a rendition of Michael Jackson's Thriller (which sadly doesn't have any author information embedded) employs some clever filtering on both the brass sections (to make them brighter and snappier) and on the synth sections (to make them sound more analog) and this sounds vastly different across modules.
That being said, having re-read the first post, this project mainly focuses on the DAC rather than the actual device engine quirks and features.
Just a little feedback anyhow - I'll try and get these recordings done at some point soon for you.
And for anyone who is curious about the track I mentioned - please see attached. I've edited the track to remove the vocal tracks as they always sound terrible, no matter what song.
