Make something modular or semi-modular. It can be inspired by Roland synths, but give us lots of modulation options, etc.
See Korg Multi/Poly for reference. That's a semi-modular with a modern GUI and a beautiful sound.
JUNO-6 done, which Roland Synth should I model next? Jupiter-8?

Semi-modular would be neat. Or something like Diva where you can mix-and-match between the different oscillators and filters that you’ve modeled would be cool, too.

Ask Roger if you can use the EPROMS. I can imagine he will give you permission. He doesn’t value those old sounds very high anyway… And he is the nicest guy in this industry imaginable…Morphoice wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2026 7:20 pm The LinnDrum is done too, though I haven't sampled all the EPROMs I own yet, I can't just bindump and copy them for the obvious copyright reasons. Also I still need to finish the MIDI mod to the hardware, before I can use it again. It's on the shelf in pieces rn.

good idea! Maybe one day a "MorphModular "with all the OSC/VCF/VCA and Effect DSP I modeled over the xears interchanable. I'll keep that in mindrobelanator wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2026 9:57 pm Semi-modular would be neat.

There are so many Jupiter 8 Emulations out there now that i think it will be hard to try to sell another one.
I would stay away from making a SH-101, TB-303, Juno (Except for maybe a 106) or a Jupiter 4 If i where making Roland plugins.
There is already released so many of them in Digital Hardware and software and i think most people are already happy with the ones they have.
If you for want to go for a Jupiter 8 for example you would need to make it a bit more interesting so it stands out in the Crowd by adding a extra sub oscillator or a Extra Oscillator or something else that can make it go beyond the limitations of a pure Jupiter 8 when the user want it to do so.
Adding a Vintage knob or slider won't be enough to make it more interesting than the other Jupiter 8's.
