Nope. It's a *very* simple patch - all I tweaked was the Amp Env settings and the degree of Osc Detune, which took me no more than a couple of minutes.I think you did some precise eq tweaking also.
Yes, the Synth1 version sounds slightly grainy to me and there's an obvious visual difference between the waveforms (though adding aciddose's HPF settings brings them closer).The original has just a bit more clear sound
Anyway, it was all a little bit of mischief intended to redress the balance somewhat with regard to the (IMO) unwarranted ridiculing bwwd received earlier in the thread, after he'd dared to suggest that Synth1's supersaw might share some of the sonic character of the JP's. (TBH I was pretty sceptical about that claim too, but then Urs posted the real JP8K example and we already had the .mid file, so I thought I'd give it a go. I was, to say the least, fairly surprised at how close it was).
But comparisons using one god-awful fromage-de-fromages tarnce .mid file is not a definitive test by any means - and no doubt a more rigorous analysis would show that Synth1's supersaw is some way off a clone of the JP's.
Equally, I'm sure that Urs' implementation will be a good deal better than either Synth1 or JP8K's.
and you didn't use any eq? WOW, well never underestimate the power of Synth1.

,i ported some patches to synth1 and they sound very similar.
