www.ele4music.com has a jupiter 6 clone up now.
Personally i'm gonna wait for varios, because i can't justify it on a 303 and jupiter alone. Post opinions here. p.s. If anoyone owns a hardware jup 6 a professional review would be greatly appreciated. | |

played one recently enough; Not bad, I would have to say, but not the same either. It has some of the character though. It is interesting to see how far using the same functions as the original can influence the sound, seeing as how the oscillators are not the same, or the filters, etc. and yet you end up with something that can sound very similar. Well, of course you never know what is going on under the hood of a vsti, even an SE one. He could be writing his own modules even. And it is all in how you design the signal path etc.... I give it a good mark, anyhow. But the one that really put a smile on my face is the new Pro-SE, EFM's version of the Pro one!!! I am very familiar with the Pro one, and I am having a lot of fun with the Pro SE; it is a great little VSTi, wicked! | |

I just d/led it, so I'll have a wee play later. I can't see it being too close to a JP6 though - most synthedit creations don't have the right characters for filters and self-oscillation, although the actual oscillators themselves are quite good. It'll probably still make some nice sounds though. I wouldn't expect any Synthedit thingies to be a close emulation - it's far more likely to happen with the coded ones.
A big thumbs up for this one though, as I see he's put in a delay on the LFO! Marvellous... don't see that very often on Synthedit VSTis ( I know you can apply LFO mod to a wheel etc...but that's not a practical thing to do for actually playing in quick phrases with delayed LFO mod). And it looks like he's put in all the right features. I remember the JP6 very fondly indeed - had regular access to one in the past but never actually owned one - I always remember it as having the best interface of any synth I'd played.... well laid out logically and intuitively with lots of space for access, nice sliders and knobs and gorgeous coloured lights - they were a delight to program and play. Roland made some of the best keyboards (although not all necessarily the best sounding) but the JP6 sounded very organic and warm with the capability of being harsh when you threw it into sync - all the best bits! So I went out and bought meself a Juno106 thinking it'd be like a JP6 - ha! I was disappointed there, let me tell you. | |

Well , I have a Juno 106 and have tried the Ju-60 and Jup-8.
The oscillators sound very closely like the original. The filters are also very well emulated but dont self oscillate. Overall, very distinguishablle are resembling their original I find this very interesting what can be done with this SE stuff. I heard that you can write your own modules... | |

Update :
The J-60 is really fun to play qith but the Jup-8's filter seem a bit problematic. Maybe Im nuts but I like the J-60 much better ! |
