Hey
Björn of Full Bucket Music is back with a new plugin. FB-7999 is a free Synthesizer plugin that emulates the best-known Korg DW-6000/8000 hybrid synthesizers from the 1980s. Pretty cool, it has a SysEx import/export functionality with which you can load in patches from the hardware units.
Features
- Two digital oscillators with 16 + 16 different waveforms
- Poly and Unison modes
- Built-in pseudo-stereo delay
- SysEx data communication, import and export
- Extended polyphony (up to 64 voices)
- Supports MTS-ESP by ODDSound dynamic micro-tuning
- Resizable user interface (not "N" version!)
- MIDI Learn – all parameters can be controlled by MIDI CC
- Plug-in supports Windows and macOS (32 bit and 64 bit)
I did a sound demo of it, hope you enjoy it

It's cool he did this, and it's worth reading the manual as there are a few notes in their regarding emulation accuracy and design decisions.
The DW6000/8000 were never exactly great sounding or very flexible synths anyway, but I'm all for people with a passion doing emulations of things they are interested in.

Thank you MillerSam for the heads up and many thanks Björn for your great generosity over the years giving for free your high quality, well coded vst creations.

Another beautiful synth. Getting a few stuck notes here but I'm sure that will be worked out promptly. Thank you Bjorn!

Blasphemy!!!
That filter is golden. Sure they weren't super flexible, but...

Woa thanks to Björn for the new synth and MillerSam for the heads up!
I'll give this a go later today. I will say that is one very nice GUI.

It doesn't mean they can't produce some decent sounds, but it does mean that they were limited and not very flexible and not that good sounding under a lot of circumstances (ie, small sweet spot). Honestly, there were far better ways of spending £1000-£1200 back in 1985 if you were into synthesisers...EvilDragon wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 2:16 pmThat filter is golden.

Note: FBM didn't model the filter accurately in this (see the manual as I mentioned above).
This is answered in the manual, which is really worth a read. TLDR:-
Yes, the filters of the hardware (realized with custom NJM2069 chips) sound different than the digital filters in FB-7999 (in my humble opinion: Not necessarily better but different nonetheless).
