Tal J-8

[Arashi]

I was trying to make a dark synthwave track with these presets, but ended up with a cheesy Todd Terje-disco-like lounge number instead.

I'm into it. Nice!

Has anyone seen a test where the TAL J-8 is compared to the hardware?

Someone in the Gearslutz TAL thread did a basic comparison yesterday against his hardware. More tests are supposed to be coming.

Great, I found the post with the HW/TAL comparison.
Btw, yes, the comment about the more "low end" was a comment on Youtube. I also saw that someone compared different waveforms Arturia vs TAL (of course as always with different opinions in the comments).

After spending some time with J-8, I'm noticing a certain tone characteristic to it, which can be described as 'pillowy lushness'.

Where is the gated reverb snare ?

Phill Collins banned everyone from using it.

For those who always like to say, if you aren't making your own presets you are a wuss.
I present exhibit A above.
I have had the synth for weeks longer than EH. I have made some patches in that time.
None of them are of the quality of EH.

I stick to my lane..... He makes them, I play them.

I mean no offence to anyone but those are pretty standard analogue sounds that anyone who's used synths for a while should be able to make.

Can we hear yours?

i think his point is that it's a fairly basic VA, so the sounds are going to be fairly limited, the kinda stuff any VA can do, and commonly have in factory banks. He didn't say they were bad or anyone could do better....

I am wondering if we can get some cpu usage data on a couple of presets on the TAL Jupiter? I am wanting to know specifically from people who are running 10 core or more processors using Cubase. Latency settings would matter as would the specific preset and the used polyphony. I’m ordering my computer parts and presently on a 6 core 12 thread 3930k. This plugin really gives this cpu a stress test. I though it might be worthwhile to see how a more recent machine comes with its demands. Any takers?

Great work on this plugin... sounds alive to me.

Maybe they should.
And yet in my opinion most don't.
Certainly synapse doesn't. Which you may or may not recall is one of my 'things' with synapse (that and the browser).
Really good sounding synths, great cpu usage, but for sure the factory sound design imho do not cover these 'fairly basics' as you call them.

I have been begging Himalaya to do a sound bank for Legend and Obsession for awhile now, since they both respectively have been out.

And as I mentioned, in the only TAL vs Arturia video I found (the one linked to earlier in this thread), the ONE comment actually criticized the Arturia lowend. So, it would be nice to have a link to the source of your video.

never heard that before and the only other reference for it I found is you on a cuckos forum talking about it...not saying it isnt true because tech terms and all...you always hear new things...

It's also explained in u-he manuals.

"Mouse Wheel Raster: If the wheel on your mouse is rastered (you can feel notches as you roll), activate this."

[Halonmusic]

Yes the mouse wheel raster is a great feature

thats all down to Richard, he is given hundreds of presets, but seems obsessed with KS for some bizzare reason...

Anyway, a bit OT, so....

[zvenx]

Agreed and Agreed.

After years of playing EH's patches though I find them beyond the ordinary/basic....others clearly can disagree and have had a different experience.
