Thanks, you've provided lots of inspiration to experiment with the sequencer - The model 82 is one of the best soft synth purchases I've ever made (amount the hundreds I've bought)
I've noticed in all of your screenshots the drive parameter is not at 0, but something like 0.6. The drive knob removes a lot of the high end, and clips the signal - maybe not that much at this low setting - but could be accounted for the slightly less punch and attack.
Thanks for letting me know. In fact I noticed several times that after setting a parameter to zero with the mouse, I released the mouse button and then the parameter would jump back a little over zero. I guessed that happened too when I set the drive parameter to zero. As you said, results may be unaffected, but everyone can try at home if the minimal difference makes also a different sound.
One flaw is the Model 82's square wave is literally square, whereas the 101 doens't have an actual square but more of a saw/square hybrid. Still think Tal's Bassline is a closer replica
13:59 The best sound on the 101 in this comparison and while Model 82 was able to be relatively close in previous examples, here, when it counts, it drops the ball. Of course, I don't know wether different settings would have been better. I doubt it because it seems to me like a sound character discrepancy. Not in a million years would I use this particular sound of the Model 82 in my music.
Absolutely right. The software is like an advanced or modern version of the original hardware. You can even set up a polyphonic, MPE-enabled 101 investing some time. For convenience, the software puts the hardware to shame. However, playing the SH-101 is a total different experience. Software can’t touch it. And I don’t mean only the sound. It’s the whole package. Getting the hardware or the software is today more about your way of interacting with the instrument than a real sound difference, imho. :-)

Well done.. thanks..

Have you tried Tal's version?
No, with the real SH-101 and the Roland Boutique version my 101-needs are covered. :-)
If you use the synth to play instead of sequencing , the softube is much better : it adds velocity , aftertouch and a progressive modulation

Nice try, but analogue sounds better. Even the MS-1 sounds a lot closer to the 101... I compared them in my studio. Indistinguishable.
I still prefer the hardware version, but I was positively surprised with the Model 82. :-)
