JUNO-6 done, which Roland Synth should I model next? Jupiter-8?

[TechHaus]

On the internet, unless you were born in 1988, it usually means one thing if you use it in a handle or user name.

Maybe folks weren't aware of this. It is meant to signal to folks who are aware.

This is silly. Please stop looking for reasons to be offended. Or get off whatever weird corners of the internet where 88 usually means that. I'm not saying you're wrong about that one particular knuckle-dragger usage, but the context matters. Sometimes even 420 and 69 are just numbers. And those alternate meanings are way more popular than what you're talking about.

Not weird corners, tho. Just correcting that part.

Can we now get back to the actual plugin? I’m looking forward to it (in native Linux format, of course! ).

Sorry. Senseless message.
Time to check that naz... Eight voices plug-in.
8 is infinite symbol.

Next you guys are going to tell me that "Summer of '69" was some kind of double entendre. Ridiculous.

Double infinite then

I apologize for bringing it up, it was just an honest shocked reaction to seeing it on the synth at launch. I saw that it was brought to the dev's attention, and being that the dev is from where they are from, and it is ILLEGAL to represent that viewpoint there, a namechange was in order. It wasn't. It is what it is.

I expressed my viewpoint that this is maybe not great.

Moving on.

No need to apologize, you did a nice thing by pointing it out even though you likely knew people here were going to be wieners about it.

The developer's fine with it sharing that number, but at least now they know and were able to make an educated choice. If it were me, I would definitely want to know.

Let me make this once again absolutely clear, since it keeps getting blurred. A number is just a number, I've no issue with 88 as a quantity any more than 14 or 42; numbers are neutral. What I reject is people abusing it as shorthand for something vile, and others then tarring anything named 88 with the same brush. But that's beside the point entirely, because my plugin isn't named a number at all, it's named the stylized word "EightyEight," following straight from "EightySix." So there are three different things here that keep getting mashed into one: a neutral number, a misuse I want nothing to do with, and my plugin's name, which connects only to the first. That's the whole picture, and that's me done on it before it starts getting annoying.

Anyway, I'd love to actually steer this back to the plugin itself, which is the whole reason I posted. If anyone's had a chance to load it up, I'd really value some impressions on the sound, especially the voice card oscillators and that worn, drifty character, since that's the part I've put the most into and the thing that sets it apart.

Funny that some are demanding you 86 the 88...
And I get the feeling it's from the 420 mob not realizing that number was once mostly a racist term too!
I have no problem with what you call them here and am watching the evolution of the plugins on their own merits. Keep going and know there are more of us than them.

Ha, "86 the 88" made me laugh. Appreciate this a lot! That's exactly the spirit I was hoping to get back to: judging the plugins on what they sound like. Thanks for watching the work and for the encouragement, it genuinely helps. More to come, and I hope the sound earns its keep with you.

There's really only one thing here: a number. It really, REALLY doesn't matter if it's written "88" or "EightyEight". The number is indeed misused, and as I said, it's better that you know that and are fine sharing the number than not knowing and not being fine with it.

Nobody's suggesting your synth has anything to do with that, they're just trying to inform you since it's reasonable to assume that there are a lot of people that might want to change the name to avoid any misunderstanding. There's nothing to defend, you've stated that it's not relevant to you and that's that.

Exactly! The sound is what matters.

Those KVR discussions have really taken up some of my time that I'd rather spend actually working on "the sound," so I'd better get back to it before we end up with a lot of talk and no sound at all.

You seem to have fallen into a Hyde Park hole here and maybe dropping it so you could use both hands to crawl out would be in everyone's best interest.
