Yes, there is a Github Issue for the crash in Logic and I posted my workaround for it there too.

He's also on Reddit, looks like some people have reported issues to him over there:

Don't know if it was mentioned but he also emulated the MKS-20:

And the RRV-10 reverb:

Hi I'm blind and I just got this and it's amazing! I'm having the same issue with the house board. I wish he can include screen reader support in the browser. For the time beeing I have to use OCR which makes it accessible that the NVDA screen reader has built in.

I noticed that when you first open the AU in Logic, you don't get the missing roms prompt that you get in the VST3. You need to find the correct *files* and then you must copy them to both locations (at least that's what finally worked for me). You can then quickly check if everything worked by opening the standalone. If that works, then your AU will work.
Yup. And when you say "copy them to both locations" at first I was just dragging the files into the new folder where they needed to go. That didn't work. I had to go into the source folder, select all, command copy, open destination folder, then paste all. that worked for me.

That's because that *moves* files, it doesn't copy them.

Or just hold Alt/Option while dragging. That *copies* the files instead of moving them.

The Synthmania site says it was 1999.

Correct. Thanks for that page. Expansion came out in 99. $900.00 for the basic synth. Anyone know how much Expansions went for?

SR-JV 8MB Expansion cards were £210 in 1992.

I hate to go OT but I'm not really understanding this synth. Was it just a Sampler on steroids?

Bog standard rompler. Eric Persing was the chief sound designer, that’s pretty much the answer to why it’s a classic.

It was the precursor to the JV-1080, simpler, less voices, but the same kind of thing.

Hi I have ben enjoying this synth. I have ben playing with it most of the day yesterday. I think if he adds screen reader support, tone edditing and efffect editing it will be more amazing!

It doesn't work for me on WIN 10. If I run the .exe I get nothing and wherever I click I hear the windows chime sound. I have to kill it with the task manager. I have the roms on the expected location.

As a plugin, on Reaper I get a popup that says it's missing the roms, just for me to click the open folder button opening the "roaming" folder where I have the roms and cards.

That drive is a symboling link to a Ext4 drive mounted using WSL2, but all programs load it fine except Algonaut Atlas, which is also broken in this regard and unusable for me.
