Guest Anonymous Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hello. What softsynth do you guys think best emulates the Roland JP-8000? Is the Superwave or Vangaurd close? Any thoughts, links, ideas? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Meganulon-X Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 Heard some unfortunate tales of non-support from Superwave, but I suggest you head over to KVR to see what the current status is. Hopefully it's been remedied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paolo Di Nicolantonio Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 I think Vanguard emulates the Virus more than the JP-8000 (and does so quite well)... Never tried it, but judging from the demos, Superwave is closer to the JP-8000, - however, I still think that it's too bright and plasticky. The real JP-8000 is "dark", "cold", digital, broad, majestic... ethereal... and analog and powerful when it wants to be that, too. I'm not making any sense, am I?

I did have a chance to listen to some of the demos on your page of the 8000. The 8000 does sound a bit less bright that Superwave. By the way, what are your plans for your website? Are you going to add more demos and info in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yoozer Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 What did you hear about it? I do not think it is no longer supported. I have it installed. I like it pretty much but I wanted to see what others have to say. From what I heard it's that if you send them your cash you're not going to see anything back. From both, Superwave would be the choice - Vanguard is indeed more Virus-like - then again, I don't like it and I have a real JP-8080 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the on-board digital delay contributes a lot to the JP-8000's sound... it's definitely a DDL! I've been busy with work and haven't had much time to update the website lately. But!, this Wednesday I'm finally moving to my new house, with a much larger studio space - and will start adding audio (and hopefully video as soon as I buy another camcorder - my trusty old Panasonic just died) demos again Gotta keep up with those guys at bl.. blu.. bl.. blu you know the site.

Members Meganulon-X Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 Disclaimer: This is what I remember and it may not be actual fact. Superwave issued some cryptic notice about the Performer/Professional/Trance-Pro synths (the ones based on the P8) that they're no longer supporting them because of P2P cracked copies. Tarkus, their most recently announced instrument (appears to be based on the Korg MS2k) is currently fantom-ware. Was supposed to be launched 1 year ago.

Guest Anonymous Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 http://home.btconnect.com/christopherg/main.htm This is the link I have for Superwave. Do I have the correct site. I believe I got the VST from this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 From what I heard it's that if you send them your cash you're not going to see anything back. I do not understand this statement. Are you saying that they have a non-free version that they sell? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meganulon-X Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 Chas, you've got the free version. The "paid-for" versions, Performer, Trance Pro and Professional, are the ones that you'd potentially get borked on. $70 is the most expensive (Performer), but that's no good if there's nothing sent your way. The problem has to do with a communications breakdown on their side. Site: http://www.superwave.co.uk No mention of Tarkus. >_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members C#minor Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'm no expert on the sound of JP80x0, but I heard this old free one is close. Even if it is not, it's still sounds nice. The VST, Buzzroom's Lallapallooza Lite: http://www.dee-pro.sakura.ne.jp/buzzroomsoft/LPLL_v201.zip Get this bank for it as well: http://ann.sounds.free.fr/phpmv2/phpmyvisites.php?url=http%3A//ann.sounds.free.fr/download/presets/Lallapallooza/COMP200503_Nolwenn.zip&id=1&pagename=FILE:download/presets/llpl2%2032%20presets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Meganulon-X Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 An Inconvenient Synth. Pig, none of us need stuff like that when Zebra and Massive are available. **Warning: Big Assumption follows!** You could dang near roll your own JP-80x0 in Reaktor. I, uh, think. ?
