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

 

It's a paid one. For free right now as regular vst Synthmaster One is decent!

 

Thank you very much for this report, I am grateful to you...
Got it just now.

 

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.

 

a dual core ..... the last was released by Apple in 2017 lol

 

jfc even the Intel N100 mini PC that I bought last year for 100buck beats it...

i had a dream tonight that they released the delay and reverb plugins and i tried them in fl studio.. and.. they were great

 

Note I used the word clone, not emulator.

TUS hasn't released an 8080 emulator version yet. I also don't see why Airwave having more features than the 8080 as a bad thing.
