    Buy a new PC or use KV331 Synthmaster One instead of JE-8086
    It's FREE but today only!

    Great synth for Trance!
    Uglier, dumber but more clean and much much lighter brother from different father of JE-8086

    The only decent clone of the JP8080 is Adam Szabo's Airwave

    Oh guess it’s technically not fully released yet, but hey we got at least a JP8000 with a smaller file size for the moment! Just hoping it’ll be fully ready to go by the summer…

    its a very good replication. the additional reverb is also very good. i like airwave more than the USUAL Suspects

    Does anyone know why there is no Advanced- DSP Clock in this synthesizer??? I am sure that such a feature would help many to reduce the load on the processor.It just stops the DAW due to the huge load, even a 512 or 1024 buffer does not save.What a pity.

    What kind of PC do you have? What CPU, operating system, etc.?

    They have already answered me and confirmed my thoughts on this matter.Thanks everyone.
    "because the JP cant be clocked, like the other you mentioned can. So there is none, it either runs full LOLA or it doesnt run at all, meaning no Real Time."

    interesting the Nodal was cray on the CPU when first released and then as the updates came out it has become playable. Hopefully the same will happen w this one?

    No issues here. 7800X3D, Win11. Around 4% CPU usage per instance in Ableton.

    I have SynthMaster 3. It sounds good, but it’s clunky and buggy af. I wouldn’t compare a mid-tier VSTi all-rounder to a dedicated emulation of a specific legendary synth.

    the only problem being it isnt 1 to 1, the JE8086 is 1 to 1 ... why -- well you should maybe read FAQ again on the TUS page gather information how these emulation were created.
