The newer modules, like Q and Nord Modular comes pretty close, and if it's close enough seems to be a matter of taste.
otherwise, just get a real analogue filter, or an analogue tape machine, or lots of tube outboard gear and run the synths through that to get a more analogue (warmer anyway) sound.

I for one like the old Mellotrons very very very much!
Why? I don't know, maybe because of their not so high frequency output, shakey raw sound?
Those virtual analogs come very close I'd say...
Still the analogs have character and they look good.

On the other hand-rythmic music and the tracking on digital is great and easier to achieve-good to hear too. My ear has been conditioned over the years toward analogue as have most of the boomers-conversely-the younger industry people and semi-pros are conditioned to hear digital.
My associates in the industry who deal with this daily and continually utilze a hybrid of the two formats relying on digital for rythmic stuff and analogue for the production of those natural overtones-We don't live in an age where you can discriminate-its all about listening and where you want to place yourself on the chain of production (performing-engineering-producing-marketing-etc.)

I use both. The microwave makes the most complex pads
I've ever programmed and the pulse has the edge with
its fast envelopes..................................
Analogue & Digital the perfect combination
