Adam Szabo - AIRWAVE Out Now! (JP-8080 VST)

[Nug Wrangler]

Yes, finally! Congrats on the release Adam

Will be picking this up asap. Couldn't count how many times I 'almost' got an 8080, but passed. Lovely.

Does this come in vst3 format because Cubase 14 does not like vst2 anymore.

You DO know how to enable VST2 in Cubase 14 (and even 15) right?

I tried but all it does is freeze Cubase.

Out of curiosity are there no emulations for this previously? Diva or something?

go to the VST Plug-in Manager, click the "VST2" button on the bottom, and then restart Cubase.

For Apple Silicon Macs, VST2 support only works if Cubase is running in Rosetta mode.

Also works in version 15

It doesn't work. Cubase freezes and when I restart it vst2 is still not enabled.

Mac users will have options in due course...

What is meant by this??? I was already to buy and was like UGGGG no MAC. I am not familiar with this Dev, but his sound sets and VST’s sound great!!

JE-8086 will be superior as it's the actual JP8K minus any AD/DA from the hardware.

I can't confirm this in the case of viper....

Yes. The plugin folder contains a vst3 file. I had to move the file to Program Files\Common Files\VST3 for my DAW to detect it.

Happy days again !

I owned jp8080 when it came out, brand new, but life has sometimes other plans, so I sold it long time ago.

Most likely the upcoming JE-8086, which runs the original JP-8080 firmware.

And which technically is piracy if one doesn't own the actual device (IANAL but one might have to dump the ROM himself too). Let's not forget this small detail

I have mixed feelings. From one side I like the emulators for archival and nerding (love the technical details on how and what was done). From the other I can see Adam picking a classic non-DSP56300 VA synth to emulate when Viper was finished, only to down the road see the JP8080 emulator announcement and see history repeating. Probably, depending on in which stage this was at the time, also being pressured to release before it just to limit the risk of losing revenue potential.

Something!

Would that mean that you have to dial in Airwave in a completely different way than a JP8080 while this is an emulation?

As if you would ever work on a virtual synth and then despise it because a dial on the envelope is a bit different looking than what you supposedly remember to be on some hardware. Gimme a break. Who creates sound like that? Exactly, no one.

You tweak until it sounds good (or not good).

I can sense you need a friend or two.

Aside from that. Is it your opinion that the example that starts at 0:34 and the one that starts on 3:20 sounds good? Both examples are huge differences in sound between Airwave and an actual JP8080.

Maybe not even because Airwave couldn't nail it, but more so because the developer did not put the effort in his comparison.

Roland provide the firmware. You don't even need an account. Still illegal? Not sure

There is the quite recently released Chro-Nyx, which runs in Reaktor, that's something.
Which I was planning to buy, but now... hmm, must test
