I was thinking Olga, but I was mistaken. It was this:

That's not bad, thanks. Still would love to see someone spend some time getting the squeal of the filter down, this has the beed though!

JP8080 thats the only im interested, but its very biased by nostalgia from 17 years ago. Other then that i dont care about any emulations anymore.

Diva's digital oscillator is pretty much a Jp8000. Although they didn't do the filters but I'm guessing a Jp 8000 owner in 1997 would be pleased with Diva's selection of filters.

Yamaha AN1X, Casio VZ-10, and KORG DSS-1

Next year Yamaha is supposed to release the Montage M VST which will be AWM+FMX+AN1X.

I own both. They have great sound quality but are much less interesting sounding to me than almost any other Roland analog. Like really good vanilla.

Funny I would put them very close to a Jupiter 8 or JX3P, as they are the 4 synths really able to nail that classic Roland brassy sound I still love

What's bad about the JD 800 plugin? I haven't tried it but the idea of using the JD-08 for hands-on control is appealing. A cool trick with the JD and JV's is that if you map your waveform to an expansion card, you can swap in a different card and get a whole new sound from it. I can't imagine Roland ever adding that feature to the plugins.

Tried it, I didn't liked it at all, could be just the interface as I didn't spend a very long time on it, and I still own a JD-990 which got heavy use as I love what this unit can do, for very airy/ethereal pads it's a bliss.

But still would like to see a digital version of it, so I can get rid of last piece of hardware...

An actual port is in the works.

I know! If I were brave enough I would try to port one of them, like the FS1r shouldn't be a too difficult unit to do, but I miss too much time to do something like this :/ When I read what kind of report Urs can pull to explain the details of his work, there is just so much dedication into any port...

Roland's VSTs aren't that great from a GUI standpoint. I have the JD800 expansion on their Roland Cloud VST that is basically the Jupiter X .

Interface is OK.

I also have the D50. GUI is pretty bad.

Really? Still no developer willing to physically model this beautiful classic?

Icarus 2 does the supersaw spot on and has great filters. 2 filters in fact. Envelopes with adjustable curves and many more features not present on the jp.
I had a 8080 and after comparing to icarus I didn't feel much need to keep it.

I'm sure a roland cloud 8000 or 8080 isn't that far fetched. Honestly though having owned one for many years I don't think the filters or any other features are special.
Feedback oscillator was interesting I guess

waldorf microwave xt, blofeld, M, or the groove synthesis wave thing

Largo is the blofeld but with more features.
Only Waldorf makes a better software version of their hardware…
Play it at 96khz and you have a blofeld with the desperately needed eq.

The Electronic Sackbut

https://spectrum.ieee.org/electronic-music



Looks like the inventor would have appreciated MPE capable controllers and instruments.

Throughout his life, Le Caine pursued the idea of a “beautiful sound” —something meaningful, rich, complex, and imaginative. He wanted to overcome the popular perception of electronic instruments as sounding mechanical and uninteresting. According to Young, he wanted the electronic sackbut to be as satisfying as a violin, with the same nuance and variation, but easier to learn to play.
