Get the iconic Roland JP-8000 SUPERSAW sound as a digital User Oscillator – with the same parameters as the original.

This is part of my complete Bundle with additional 15 powerful User Oscillators for the Minilogue XD and NTS-1 (MKi).

In this video I’m showing the SUPERSAW in a short trance track and walking through some of the custom parameters:

🎛️ Phase – Control the massive width of the 7 supersaw waves
🎛️ Mix – Balance the dry and detuned signals perfectly
🎛️ Brightness – Open up the filter character for piercing leads
🎛️ SubOsc – Add massive low-end to your supersaw patches
🎛️ Octave Switch – Choose between 1 or 2 octaves for the SubOsc
🎛️ Drive – Boost the punch of the sound

Perfect for owners of the Minilogue XD who want classic trance and progressive sounds."

"This oscillator was written from the ground up in C++ for maximum efficiency and sonic uncompromising quality. Instead of simply stacking standard sawtooth waves, the code uses mathematical refinements otherwise found only in high-end plugins:

Original detune behavior: The oscillator calculates the phase behavior of 7 synchronized sawtooths using the exact asymmetric detune ratios of the original Roland JP-8000.

Fully band-limited: By employing optimized band-limited sawtooth algorithms, the sound stays absolutely clean and free of annoying aliasing even in the highest notes.

Analog-modulated filter design: Inside the code runs a cascade of four highpass filters plus a specialized high-shelf EQ based on BiQuad filter structures. This delivers an extremely clean bass range and silky highs.

True soft clipping: An integrated saturation algorithm ensures that the oscillator moves into harmonic, warm saturation at higher levels – exactly like high-quality analog transformers.

The Parameters: Full control on your KORG synthesizer

You can shape the sound deeply and directly via the knobs of your Korg synthesizer (or via MIDI/LFO):

SHAPE / LFO (Detune): Controls the beating behavior of the 7 sawtooths – from subtle analog to the maximum wide “Wall of Sound”.
ID1 (Phase / Free-Running): Continuously switches between full retrigger (phases start at 0 with every key press for maximum punch on snappy leads) and free-running (phases run freely for organic, lively pads).
ID2 (Mix): Balance control between the center oscillator and the detuned side saws.
ID3 & ID4 (Sub Mix & Sub Octave): Mixes in a massive sub oscillator (optionally one or two octaves lower) to give your leads an unshakable foundation.
ID5 (Drive): Pushes the internal gain staging and drives the oscillator into musical soft clipping.
ID6 (Brightness): A brilliant dual-purpose control. It opens the high-shelf EQ for brilliant highs (up to +15 dB) while simultaneously raising the cutoff frequency of the highpass filters to place the sound perfectly in the mix.
The Ultimate Multi-Engine Bundle (1+15 Free)

The JP-8000 emulation is the absolute centerpiece – but you get much more. To give you the full range of sonic possibilities, you receive 15 additional user oscillators completely free with the purchase of this bundle!
Platforms: Full compatibility with Korg Minilogue XD, Prologue and NTS-1 (MKI). Thanks to the binary-compatible SDK, the mathematical core functions run identically on all three devices.

Price: Only €15,— (that’s less than 1 euro per oscillator!)

Delivery: .mnlgxdunit, .prlgunit and .nt1unit files including quick start guide.
