What would the Neuron synth sound like today?

I’ve been asked this question over and over again in our Neuron synth Facebook fan group: “If you had to rebuild the Neuron synth using today’s hardware, what would it sound like? Would it sound much different than the 2003 version given that today’s CPUs are much more powerful and will now allow the Neuron engine to run in “full HD” mode?”

Well, judge for yourself.

So the other day I compiled the code in full rez just for fun. This is the Neuron with the exact same original sound file (“Sentimental1”) produced by Arnd Kaiser, both on the original 2003 hardware and on a 2015 emulation (DSP layer only). Enjoy!
