To be frank, I think you can just get a better sound in software these days.

JP wins every time. Not saying Hive sounds bad though, it's awesome in its own way.

But which one is the JP, A or B?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the jp the first to use the term (and method of) supersaw?

So basically everything else is trying to replicate that.....or renaming it (hypersaw) to get around it...

Oh, B of course.

yes that is true

Oh, B of course.

Care to elaborate?

I think Hive emulates the JP supersaw the best and the most authentic. Filter/resonance behavior is sooooo close. And it even does the infamous clicks.

Exactly, everything else is trying to emulate it.

So the JP8000/8080, Nord Lead 1-2 and the Virus were the synthesizers back then for supersaw/hypersaws but were there other synths that was just as popular aswell?

At least amongst certain artists, surely Novation Supernova. SN/SN II and Nova were nice little machines.

A is 8080, B is clearly soft sounding.

JP6K has aliasing. It has specially simulated aliasing of JP8000/8080 which is a godfather of SuperSaws. That synth (original hardware) was used to create the first track that made SuperSaw famous (System F - Out of the blue)

Aliasing is actually part of the "classic sound of supersaw". Access Virus quickly became 2nd "best synth" for SuperSaw/HyperSaw. If I remember correctly, Virus has 96k SR so it can avoid (most of) aliasing.
About plugins, I remember that Spire sounded waaaay better in 96k projects (huge audible difference). Today most plugins use oversampling for SuperSaws to avoid aliasing I guess?

Diva has a switch for the JP8000 module which disables oversampling, to get aliasing
