OK you lot, let's here it: In your opinions, what are the closest sonic matches of the following synths:

Korg Prophecy (ignoring VL side of things)
Roland Juno 106
Roland Alpha Juno
Roland JD800
Roland JP8000
TB303
Mini Moog
Prophet

My opinions:
Prophecy: reFX Vanguard (it even somehow feels like it too)
Juno 106: ???
JD800: ??? (this was such a great *big* synth)
JP8000: Superwave P8 without a doubt!
TB303: Orion Bazzline (available as standalone vsti?)
Mini Moog: ASynth (believe it or not!) Just found this one. Had
been using MinimogueVA and thought IT was spot-on til I played with Asynth. <- this has such better filters, smoother, punchier, capable of THAT Dr Who bass line! It's filter ADSR is a bit disappointing though; doesn't quite allow you to open it right up from fully closed. Doh.
Prophet: Pro52. Damn this is a great soft synth!

So, let's have it: whatchya think? Everyone always wants to know this!

You forgot the Access Virus. And the first person who says "One Ping Only" in this thread gets his butt kicked. Wait I just said..................

Is there a Juno vst emulation? I don't mean a synth edit or reaktor one, one which actually models the circuity etc...

or JD800 etc...

Surely the Arturia Mini is the closest minimoog emulation?

i thought the Vangaurd was a alpha juno emulation? i could be wrong though ( hoover patch etc?)

Audio realism is the best 303 for my money

The reaktor Juno is pretty damn close, IMO

Prophet 5 - NOT pro52! i haven't heard arturia's yet, but certainly Dave Smith's version on the Korg Oasys card sounded SO much bigger and better than pro52, whichis a bit tired, IMO.

JP8000? why would you emulate it? its not a classic at all -Yamaha AN1x was certainly able to reproduce the entire JP8000 voice set - butits hardly a synth revered for it's unique sound, now, is it?

these kind of threads are really annoying when continuously repeated and boring. why don't you concentrate on which vstis sound inspiring for your music?

its a forum for discussing virtual instruments, though. to be fair.

true, but this is asked every day 100 times (maybe lets make a sticky thread for all thiose who are interested in this kind of discussion) and I don't get why we need reproduction instead of innovation

Dr Who bassline wasnt made with a synth but with tape-manipulation, there's another thread somewhere about this (bbc radiophonic workshop)

Closest VSTi versions of pop synths: Prophecy, Juno, Moog...
