I think this is a person who hasn't used a lot of hardware synths, therefore not being in a position to understand their limitations in terms of total number of oscillators available.

Just a heads up---it's actually spelled "you", not "u". :)

Hmmm.

To do list: item 87.

Build synth that takes it up to Eleven.

We shall call it a SpinalSaw.

8)
xhip allready does it up to 16 ;P
aciddose should call it the supeBBQsauce oscillator.

seriously ,they should all be called "supersaw oscillators" no matter the number....dunno why the Virus had to come up with a new term for his.

@ A.M.Gold

Go to your mirror and look in it at yourself.

Only at yourself.

See without looking (from the corner of your eye) that ghostly blue ghastly standing behind you?

That be me

Huh ?? What ever gave you that idea ?

Rar file contains mp3 on fully dry sound. No filtering. There is also that midi file. Sylenth 1 with 3 osc. :P
Well, this goes to show that your example doesn't sound like a JP8000 at all (did you tune one of the oscillators an octave up maybe?)

Here's my take:

Example 1
Example 2

One of these is the original JP8000 Supersaw. This can not be achieved by stacking ordinary sawtooth waveforms.

Hard to say which one of these is the JP, the melo is not really optimal for comparing^^

The second example sounds a little bit brighter. So i would say example 1 is the JP, because the most digital in vst used osc's, specially if bandlimited have a brighter touch in the sound.

Btw, how exactly is the JP-emulation now builded? Only via detuning of the single saws, or also with different pan and phase settings?
Because many synths working there on other ways, like sylenths, there are the waveforms in the unisio spreaded in the panning, depented from the voice-count, and on the virus are the phases of the waves also different, also depented on the voice/uni count.
