Superwave P8

I have been using Superwave P8 since V1.4 and it impresses me every time I use it. I think of all the vsts claiming to have a warm and fat sound, but when you hear it you feel disgusted. The only other vsts that are close to a vintage sound are Pro 5-3,PPG wave,Moog Modular V.

Now since you have to pay for those, Superwave P8 is the perfect alternative. I am using it in my upcoming album, and it works great for Trance, Electro, Electro Clash etc...

If you love the vintage sound, or if you own a Jupiter 6 or 8, its time to retire those and use P8.

Many thanks to Chris Gill for making this FREE Gem. I cannot wait for Superwave Trance Pro and the others he is working on.

Pros
- Great vintage analog sound
- Good sounding presets that you can actually use!
- Nice looking GUI
- Stable, no crahes so far
- Gets updated frequently
- Free and easy download

Cons
- Some presets use a moderate amount of CPU, but the sound is worth it!

That is not true, it's also 64-bit. Let's check their webpage.

I find this synth sounds fabulous but is almost unusable because it has no GUI Preset system. In Cubase, that means the DAW preset system doesn't show which user patch is loaded. This is frustrating. Does anyone know a workaround?

I can confirm, that the ultra fat sound of P8 is exceptional analog thanks to extra superwave, which is some kind of polyphonic unison. But what it makes a workstation workhorse is its unbelievable low CPU load of 10% even if played with two flat hands;-). The preset problem was fixed in the successor called just Professional. You can create custom preset names. The P8 has an issue when adjusting cutoff: it crashed. This was fixed in pro. It is only < 10$. There is no mac version. What i miss is a pdf manual.
