I could tell you a lot but you simply need to hear it. Give it a try. The Beta is free.

I modeled eight voice cards from my old Jupiter-8 down to the DAC scan noise, put a BigSky-ish Reverb on top, the famous JUNO-6 Chorus and a super musical distortion. You can dial a vintage slider from top notch serviced to terribly detuned and also a separate color slider to change the card's tone.
It is bi-timbral, has solo/unison/poly modes, does that wonderful sync sound and about the only thing still missing is the arpeggiator and a couple more fancy factory presets which will come in the next versions

It comes for PC/MAC and Linux.

Do you have any pics of your Jupiter-8 analysis setup? How you probed/recorded/logged data and stuff etc.? Not asking for details or trade secrets of the code, just visuals of the process. Curious of the condition of your Jupiter-8 and the kind of servicing it's had over time.

Let's be honest here. It's a beta with incomplete features:

"This is a beta development preview. Some features — including the arpeggiator, LFO and cross-modulation — aren't implemented yet. The beta is free, but you can support its development through the pay-what-you-want option on Gumroad. Any contribution of $10 or more earns you a lifetime license once the final release goes on sale. Note that beta versions may stop working when that release arrives.

What's really free is the beta testing you'll get. Don't insult the forum.... :uhuhuh:

EightyEight is essentially finished (except for the arpeggiator, which will land in a release over the next few days), and the plugin will remain free for as long as the pay-what-you-want model can sustain it. From here I'd rather my plugins simply be judged on how they sound — give them a listen, and if the sound works for you, great; if not, no hard feelings.

Sincere thanks to everyone who's supported the work these past two years and given honest feedback along the way, it's meant a lot. I'll be spending my time working on my third album rather than posting from now on. If you run into problems or bugs, please use the ticket system in the support section of my homepage.

Should I find the time and the muse, I'll compile the journey into a blog post for my homepage or Instagram. I have vintage synths on and off the bench fairly regularly, but I rarely film the process — documenting it takes infinitely longer than just doing the work, and between a day job, family and a life outside of it, plugin development already eats most of what's left.

Why did you created a another thread if there is one already? viewtopic.php?p=9263572#p9263572

"and the plugin will remain free for as long as the pay-what-you-want model can sustain it"

That doesn't inspire confidence
