    Those .mid files ARE firmware, this is the case for another of the plugins from the usual suspects, plus these files can be used to store patches I believe.

    firmwares can loaded from mid files, you can get from Roland page or you use the bin files, which are directly from hardware units.
    Both solutions work with JE.

    Another one who got early access to the alpha version:



    Sounds good to me but might be a CPU hog

    I have a old hp z600 with two xeon x5672 at 3.20ghz
    I use it most of the time for recording, because I still make music with hardware samplers and synths sequenced with my atari 1040ste and cubase 3.

    They are Bin files available from the Roland website (Google search Roland JP8000 Roms)
    Sounds are Bundled on the "Sister Site JP8000 & Stuff"... Links are strictly not allowed on Audiosex.
    CPU Usage is fine for the Alpha on my Macbook M4Max

    make new 90s/00s digital and fruitiger soundtracks with the stuff that came out in October alone… we just need like a breakbeat or something and a Kawai K5000 emulation cause there’s something about it that it’s just been waiting for decades… heck even VCV gets on the ambience trend with new modulations, and we can’t forget GRM Atelier

    I also have big hope, that we get back better sounding music.
    When i sit in my car and listen to modern EDM with lifeless Synths, i cannot stand the sound anymore.

    And did someone got the 8080 to work in the emu?
    8000 is working fine

    This is not the place to discuss the development. Please do it on the Discord, and please read the info/pins posted there to understand what this is, what is and isn't released/working yet etc. All the info you need is there, you just need to read it.

    I saw JP8000 in my night dreams once. It was fantastic. How about it in real life? What unique features has it got? It has Vocal In. How can it be used? Is a vocoder inside?

    it's not only about sound because you can already get quite close i think; it's also about the workflow, arrangement, etc. etc. IMHO
