Analog Modeling Synthesizers, also refered to as Virtual Analog or VA, emulate the sounds of traditional analog synthesizers using digital techniques. There is a vague consensus that while VA's can be useful and expressive instruments in their own right, they seldom achieve the vibrant sound of true analog synthesizers. On the other hand, they exceed many analog instruments in reliability and polyphony, and offer patch storage capabilites not found on all analog instruments.

Examples of VA synthesizers include:

  • Clavia Nord Lead and Modular series
  • Novation
  • Roland JP-8000
  • Alesis Ion
  • Korg MS2000
