I have never regretted purchasing a plugin from Adam. Therefore, I will certainly buy this one after testing it. I think the price is justified.

Windows only again!!! Nooo!!

I have Viper and lost it in my switch to Mac. I thought the platform he used for his plugins are mac too now, so when I saw the announcement I hoped that this would be mac too.

If you are looking for a real JP8080 sound - this is it, doesnt get better - its basically like carbon copy of the hw. Its limited compared to modern synths, but still, if you want that specific sound - its here. Well done!

This sounds great Adam. Plus I see you loaded it with extra goodies fx wise which really do it justice.

Yeess. I've been waiting for this. It sounds great. Uses almost no CPU on my Ryzen 7. Who is 'DC'? Their FnlContact patch is glorious.

One thing. I would love it if he allowed to click the parameters instead of having to click through them with a single button. If OSC1 waveform is Triangle Mod, and I want to select Super Saw, I have to click the waveform button 6 times. That really gets old fast.

Also a bug: When you load a new bank it won't play anything until you select a new preset.

That comparison video is really awful, feels rushed as hell.
- Check the sound of the envelopes at 0:34, it's much snappier on the JP8080
- Check the timing of the notes at 3:20, it's not quantized on the JP8080

- He tries to play the same sounds, but when you look at the devices the envelope settings are totally different. Would that mean that you have to dial in Airwave in a completely different way than a JP8080 while this is an emulation?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that he probably didn't feel it necessary to physically move all the controls into exactly the right position for each preset
