i downloaded this synth off of my forum and i didnt know what to expect when i did . so i installed it in my sequncer with high hopes . what i got was a synth no less then amazing . its clear that the maker was going for a jp 8000 emulation . having never owned or tryed one i cant say if its comparible but from what ive heard from other users its nothing like the jp in its own right but its still quite a comparible synth . one thing i realy like is when you tweek the seven oscs you can get a super saw sound thats quite realistic . another thing great is the built in delay effects . they realy make the synth stand out . the presest that come with the superwave are quite nice i realy liked them and they do a good job showing what this synth is capable of . my favorite preset is the x-files preset it realy sounds like the x files sound . another one i like is the chariots of fire preset it does an exelent job of showing the polyphonic power of the superwave even though its a little cpu intensive for my pentium 2 400mhz computer . one thing good though is you can change from mono to poly so its not so cpu intensive even so people with fast machines should have no problem with this synth as compared to other synth of the same its very good on the cpu . all and all a very enjoyable and very capable synth thatyou will find many uses for in your instrument rack .

That is not true, it's also 64-bit. Let's check their webpage.

I find this synth sounds fabulous but is almost unusable because it has no GUI Preset system. In Cubase, that means the DAW preset system doesn't show which user patch is loaded. This is frustrating. Does anyone know a workaround?

I can confirm, that the ultra fat sound of P8 is exceptional analog thanks to extra superwave, which is some kind of polyphonic unison. But what it makes a workstation workhorse is its unbelievable low CPU load of 10% even if played with two flat hands;-). The preset problem was fixed in the successor called just Professional. You can create custom preset names. The P8 has an issue when adjusting cutoff: it crashed. This was fixed in pro. It is only < 10$. There is no mac version. What i miss is a pdf manual.
