1.2 A BETTER EMULATION THANKS TO TAE
®
TAE
®
- standing for True Analog Emulation - is a new technology dedicated to the digital
reproduction of analog circuits.
When implemented in software code, TAE
®
algorithms guaranty the respect of hardware
specifications. This is why the Mini V offers an unparalleled quality of sound.
In detail, TAE
®
means:
1.2.1 Aliasing-free oscillators:
Standard digital synthesizers produce aliasing in high frequencies, and also when using Pulse
Width Modulation or FM.
TAE
®
allows the production of totally aliasing-free oscillators in all contexts (PWM, FM…), and at
no extra CPU cost.

1.2.2 Better reproduction of analog waveforms:
Original analog oscillators used capacitors charge and discharge cycles to produce common
wave shapes (saw tooth, triangle, square). This means that waveforms were slightly curved.
TAE
®
allows the reproduction of the capacitors discharge.
