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

[Trancit]

It has nothing to do with being a moron. I've experienced malware on Windows when I used to use it and I was well experienced at the time building my own PCs. I won't be missing out on anything because I'll be using JE-8086 which is the actual JP8K.

Weird... I have exactly the same experiences like Bones on windows... never used a virus scanner... never had any problems on my machine...

How did you notice the malware on your machine?? Because the virus scanner told you?
If so, how can you be sure it wasn´t the install of the virus scanner which has made possible the infection of your system or just a false positive??

I don't see how the one thing flows from the other. Being capable of building your own PC doesn't make you smart enough not to click on a link and end up with malware on your computer. Of course, there are also several well documented instance of bot-nets infected tens of thousands of Macs, so changing OSes doesn't necessarily make you immune.

Except it isn't, it's just the DSP used in the instrument. There a re several more stages between what the JE-8086 is and the actual output sound of a JP-8000 and you're not getting any of that.

Dude, do you even understand what JE8086 is? The Usual Suspects emulate the computer of Roland JP8K and the rom is actual software from the synthesizer itself. So its the real thing minus DAC.

So how you are not getting any of Roland JP8K is just some mind gymnastics in your head.

[Caine123]

Does it ship with 1 factory bank (128 presets) or are there more presets included?

For now yes, but since it can directly import JP presets, you have thousands of sounds available for it already

hmmm i dont see many yet?

[seafire]

Google throws up a ton of them

Exactly.

I emulate DAC with TBTech Deep Vintage Green AD plugin.

Windows doesn’t support Logic Pro.

I'm sure you meant that Logic Pro doesn't support Windows.

[wikter]

....

Windows doesn’t support Logic Pro. I’d say that preference for OS and DAW supersedes a few plugins available to a specific OS.

...

This!!!

I used Logic intensively for 15 years. Since it switched to Mac (bought by Apple) it slowly became a less flexible platform and lost the lead in some areas, it followed the same path ProTools under Avid. There are alternatives to Logic that would do a better job, but... It's always the same.
I already keep a Mac Pro just for compatibility with old projects, but I never found Apple to be a reliable platform, they have a long history in system incompatibilities.
Yes, they optimize the systems for the best performance, but there's no serious need of performance in audio apps since 2011.
Apple: Losing backwards compatibility since 1984.

I don't use Logic so can't speak about Logic, but it would take Steinberg going out of business for me to stop using Cubendo.
I am sure each DAW has stuff that the others don't do, or don't do as well, but workflow for me is the most important thing by millions of miles...I have been using Cubendo since 2001 or so, cause the workflow suits my .. work flow...
I don't know what better means to you, but better to me means works better with my the way i work and the tasks I need to do whilst i work.
I haven't found any that does this better than Cubendo for me, studio one would be the closest since it is (for obvious reasons) very close to the work flow in Cubendo.

OS is a personal thing and people are passionate about it, to each their own. (I use both but prefer the mac by also a million miles )

There is for me. I work on large projects and tend to end up pushing the system to its limits.
Currently Logic is very stable for me on Mac, whereas Cubase has more issues. Two years back Logic was a nightmare, but gradually some combination of software updates seems to have ironed out the problems.

I haven’t needed to use anti virus software for 20 years now and have had zero issues.

Same. I'm on Windows. Just download from reputable sources and don't open e-mail attachements and everything should be ok. Also, I see a lot more people having problems with Mac when Apple do updates than on Windows, which is still able to runs most software even dating back from Windows 95 (with exceptions).

[djanthonyw]

No, not really. I tried all of the major options and mainly used Cubase before switching to Logic in 2005. Logic is the only DAW i never had the desire to switch from.

There's a patch browser.
Or do you mean something specific?

A modernized patch browser where you could manually set categories, favorites etc would be helpful for disorganized third party soundbanks. Speaking of which, when importing .mid or .syx soundbanks into Airwave, there's a 50/50 chance they won't load. Not sure what the cause could be. Other formats work fine.

Bloke developed a vocoder for Mac. In the thread, several PC folk asked for a Win version. Dev obliged. Everyone happy. No drama llama.

Here, Adam says he’s thinking about developing a Mac version. Some happy Mac folk post in the thread. Greet!

Additionally, however, some Win folk start banging on about OSs and how macOS is basically inferior. Wow. Proper weirdos.

Regarding the next update, you write "in the next update (after my rest) I will make it so that you can click on the oscillator names directly instead of having to cycle though it with the button."
Does that mean that the user will have both options - cycling through all the waves using the button AND clicking on the wave directly?

The button will still stay there, I am only adding the option to click on the text directly as well, so people can choose how they do their selection.

Does the release of Airwave now mean that JP6K has become redundant and will be abandoned, or will it stay and be maintained? If so, is there hope that there could be a VST3 version - or is that technically not possible?

Yes I will do a VST3 version of JP6K also, but it will require a lot of rewrite so I ask for some patience
