Roland JP8000 vs Promars sawtooth comparison


video upload by DX5

"(Tech video, not a cover). Just checking if a sawtooth waveform from the virtual analog JP8000 can sound like a real analog (Promars) accurately. And it does the job pretty well. Not the same, but nearly...

Settings:
Roland Promars: 2 Sawtooth waveforms (one per VCO, analog), slightly detuned and a bit filtered. Roland JP8000: 2 Sawtooth waveforms (Digital VA, one per 'Osc'), slightly detuned in the same amount and a bit filtered.

* I was not using the 'Super Saw' function, which allows the user to put seven detuned sawtooth waveforms stacked in Osc 1, widely known as being a trance signature resource.

Despite this synth can sound a bit harsh or synthetic sometimes (in a mean of "digital", specially on lower notes depending of filtering, etc), I found out it is capable of great analogue emulations, with the add of those dedicated faders and knobs for realtime control."
