I think it's safe to say that Arturia Jun-6 V is a Juno-6/60 emulation, not a Jupiter-6.

 

I noticed that the previous thread died when someone pasted in a page with 100 emulations... that turned out to be not emulations (mentioned in a later comment), and original manufacturers weren't mentioned on the page.

So... we're gonna do this together. Make the comments easy to move to the list. Be clear. Mention all the things: Manufacturer of original, Name of original , Manufacturer of emulation, Name of emulation. And then specifics if needed.

It doesn't have to be any exact formatting, just... put the details in its own line of text, or lines.

Example:

Roland - Juno 69
Arturia J420 V

or

Mutable Instruments - Plaits > Ricola P_4L (Max for Live Device)

Or to word it differently:
Assume that long paragraphs may be skipped, as will partial information.

There was a bit of stuff from the old thread I skipped over. It still took me like 4 hours to make this thing. I'm sure when BlackWinny's thing comes out it's gonna blow this out of the water, but until then, lets make growing the thing easy.

Oh, and for Black Winny: I added more Arturia Synths than were mentioned, more Cherry Audio synths, Korg Collection 4 (formerly Legacy), Waldorf Streichfett... maybe 1 or 2 more. I didn't add Roland Cloud (yet), aaand... I don't know what else.

I'm making this loose and easy since Winny's list is on the way, if it doesn't happen we may make this thing more formal, with links n such.

Outstanding! Might add:

Hammond organ:
IKMultimedia B-3X

Moog Polymoog:
Xils PolyM

 

Virus B & C:
DSP56300 Emulator

Virus TI
Adam Szabo viper

 

The Virus is listed as one instrument, so all the emus are just "Virus". I don't know it well, would you consider splitting up the whole list?

Access Virus B&C
DSP56300 Emulator / Osirus
(the plugin lists as Osirus, the naming is really messy on their whole site, sometimes they call themselves DSP536 without the 00 in the end, as well)

Access Virus TI
Adam Szabo viper

????? need sorting?
Reveal Sound Spire
Powercore Access Virus
Cakewalk Z3TA+2 ???
Parasite 2.0 (Reaktor)

Waldorf
Attack
Waldorf Attack VST (Waldorf Edition)

Clavia Nord
Modular G2
Csound Modular G2 (CSound)
Nord Modular G2 (original Nord hacked editor)

cool list!

 

Is this solely an editor, for the actual gear? Or does it work as a standalone sound emulation/synth, as software?

 

as an example, in this one: https://cdm.link/2018/02/nord-modular-free-software/
the editor is used as a frontend for csound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Csound

it's more of a workaround than a real standalone emulation like Vavra. maybe it works and even sounds sort of like a nord; but i wouldn't put it on this list.

 

I've made an updated version of this list, in a new thread on this forum.

I'll keep an eye on this thread too. Some contributions from this thread were pretty hard to understand, so I skipped those. These contributions are mostly on the last 4-5 pages of the original thread. I'm gonna go through the the comments and add what I can, over time, but it'd be cool if you could help, post omissions you see, clearly formatted, as I describe in the new thread.

I've reached out to BlackWinnie, I'm not intending to step on his toes, if and when his list is ready mine can be retired. Or, we can cook something up together.

I decided to publish quick and dirty because his list was taking long, because the whole thing is a lot of work for one person. The first list-keeper gave up, BW has needed months of work, and so on.

So my idea is to structure this as a collaboration, where everyone does a little, and my job is just to paste correctly formatted info in.

See you over there!

 

It looks *really complicated*. I can't even find a link to the sound engine, just a patch converter and a link to the nord software, last edited 10 yrs ago. I put it all in one line, with a link to the csound wikipedia, and I guess I'll add the CDM link?

It's probably more interesting from a Csound standpoint, but maybe someone out there is dying for any sort of Nord Modular emu. we'll see.

 

Very good emulation, I got three tx16w they sound all a little bit different, but this peace of software sound really close to the real deal, impressive, a little bit tedious to work with but because of the sound itself it worth working with for those who haven't the hardware. Really cool for the free offer.

 

Update: Added a ton of links, mostly the things that were easy to bang in with bbcode + find & replace

 

Here's an updated version of the "List of VSTi's emulating specific hardware synths"

I've added links to more than half of the plugins on the list. I added from a few manufacturers that do lots of emulations, good paid ones like plogue, good free ones like Full Bucket, and others.

BlackWinny is working on an expanded version of the original list, so this thread is something to keep the ball rolling until he publishes.

If you want to add updates, use the same formatting as the list, and I'll paste it in.

Example:

NAME OF COMPANY​

Name of original synth
Name of emulation

It would be cool if we could weed out limited offerings by adding tags after the name of the plugin.
This means: PC/Mac only, or Reaktor/MaxForLive, or Rompler, etc.
The OP of the original list said no romplers, maybe we stick to that?

So my new thread was merged into this one. Which kind of defeats the purpose. I'd added links to like half of the things on the list, added maybe 30 new plugins, and some stuff. But I'm not super enthusiastic about maintaining a list on page 15 of a message thread, so I'm gonna hang back and see what happens.

 

I had mentioned the idea of creating this in spreadsheet form, as I did for my personal use.
It is a bit messy in some ways, but when looking for an EMU of a certain synth, it's pretty easy to see.
I have not kept up with it much lately, but it's pretty easy to add in / update.
I made a section to the left for OEM plugins, and reserved whole columns for devs who have a lot.
I might dedicate columns to some others, as they have a lot, too... hmm.

Here is what mine looks like ATM:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gJod4TY7JdOeH3Tz_hHU2yVdslktd96A/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=109071853602249420782&rtpof=true&sd=true

 

Hammond >> Hammond B3 >> GG Audio Blue3

 

Why the hell was it merged into the old one?? I thought it's a fantastic idea to renew the thread from scratch! Doesn't make any sense to carry the ballast from the old thread with you. Way more reasonable to create it from zero with a new thread.
Who's responsible for that? Oly, Avenger, I'll kick your butts

(SAiNT, if it was you: very well done!)

 

I think it'd be better as a database. you're using a lot of columns to maintain connections, which makes it visually pretty congested, especially when you start adding smaller devs.
Databases offer you multiple views, so you can browse by software devs, by original synth brands, types of synths and so on.
I usually use Notion for that, but it'd be better to use something as simple to use, but single-project based, that could even be its own website.

 

It is a kind of working demo with limitations. some weird patches sound very different on my G2, not worse, just different, of course the G2 has an editor.
