FREE SYNTH: OsTIrus (Access Virus TI/TI2/SNOW Emulator) - No talking demo
video upload by ADL-MusicLab
"Hello, everyone!
Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing OsTIrus, a FREE software emulation of the Access Virus TI/TI2/SNOW by 'The Usual Suspects', which brings back to life these iconic synthesizers!
'The Usual Suspects' is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the DSP chip from original historic hardware synthesizers, which, in this case, is the Motorola DSP56300.
As is usual with The Usual Suspects releases, you’ll need to provide the original ROM, legally acquired, of course.
The architecture, signal flow, and character closely follow the original hardware, making this an absolutely faithful Access Virus TI/TI2/SNOW recreation in software form.
More info here:

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful sounds.

JE-8086 - JP8000 Emulator Now Available
video upload by Elektronick Musick
Follow-up to this post.
Walkthrough by Autodafe:
JE-8086 Is OUT NOW – FREE Roland JP-8000 clone!
video upload by Autodafe
Note it requires a ROM of the OS.
"JE-8086 is now available as a public Beta, and in this video I take a closer, more technical look at the current state of the synth. I previously covered JE-8086 during its Alpha phase, and this update shows what has evolved and how the instrument behaves now that it’s opened up to everyone.
The video focuses on the **dual-part architecture (Part A / Part B)**, explaining how the two parts can be configured with different patches and used simultaneously inside a track. I walk through how each part can be treated independently, making JE-8086 suitable for layered sounds, splits, or performance-style switching within a single instance.
I also demonstrate how to *set up and use automation* for both parts of the synth, showing practical examples of parameter automation inside the DAW. This includes controlling sound-shaping parameters over time and managing automation lanes when working with the dual-engine structure.
JE-8086 is a 1:1 emulation of the original Roland JP-8000, built by The Usual Suspects and aiming for cycle-accurate behavior. The architecture, signal flow, and character closely follow the original hardware, making this one of the most faithful JP-8000 recreations currently available in software form.

JP-8000 Emulator by DSP56300 in the Works
This one is in via an anonymous reader.
You might be familiar with DSP56300's Waldorf, Access, and Clavia/Nord emulations from previous posts. The emulations stand out as they are ports of the original code running on emulations of the motorola DSP56300 chip. It looks like they will be tackling the Roland JP-8000/8080 next with the JE-8086, however, the JP-8000 runs on a custom Toshiba DSP chip, not Motorola. They are branching out.
via Google AI: "The Roland JP-8000 synthesizer contains a custom Toshiba-made ESP2 chip for its digital signal processing, which was a key component for its virtual analog (VA) synthesis and the creation of its iconic Supersaw waveform. The ESP2 chip was a general-purpose DSP developed by Toshiba and used in several other Roland and Boss products of the era."

FREE SYNTH: NODAL RED 2X - No talking demo
video upload by ADL-MusicLab
"Hello, everyone!
Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing NODAL RED 2X, a FREE software emulation of the Nord Lead/Rack 2X by "The Usual Suspects", which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer in all its red glory!
"The Usual Suspects" is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the Motorola DSP563xx series of DSP processors.
This DSP has been used in plenty of virtual analogue synthesizers and other musical gear that was released after around the mid 90s, such as Access Virus A, B, C, TI / Clavia Nord Lead 2X, 3, Modular / Waldorf Q, Microwave II / Novation Supernova, Nova and many others.
And now they released a must have from the 2000'...a Nord Lead/Rack 2X perfect emulation. This synthesizer uses two Motorola DSP56362 and the synthesis engine of NODAL RED 2X is identical to the Nord Lead 2x and it can also load Nord Lead 1 presets.

It looks like DSP56300, makers of Vavra, the Waldorf Micro Q emulator, and OsTirus, the Access Virus Ti emulator, are working on Waldorf Microwave XT emulator to be named Xenia.
Details futher below via DSP56300.
"Hey Guys & Girls 👋
It’s been a while but I just wanted to drop in to give you some updates on our project
Osirus (Access Virus A/B/C)
Osirus can now load the Access Virus A/B/C Firmware using the drop down menu in the top right of our GUI and you can switch between models on the fly, the stability and performance of the plugin has also been improved
We have also overhauled the patch manager which you can read more about using the link below
https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/2024/02/06/patch-manager-introduction/
Vavra (Waldorf Micro Q)
Vavra has also had the same treatment as Osirus using our new style of patch manager and some performance updates
OsTirus (Access Virus Ti)
We are happy to announce that our Virus Ti emulator is not far from release, it includes the ability to switch to the Snow model also which only uses one DSP rather than 2
It’s being heavily tested by our loyal supporters currently and as soon as known bugs are squashed it will be made public
If you can’t wait and do want to help us test and improve it then feel free to join our discord server and find out how to become a supporter of our project and join the testing team!
Xenia (Waldorf Microwave XT)
This one’s fresh off the press and is still being worked on and tested internally, it’s working pretty amazing up to now
Once we feel it’s stable enough it will be tested internally by our supporters to squash any bugs before public release
We have been working really hard since we last posted and we are very exited for everyone to experience the results of our efforts.
If you want stay up to date with our daily progress then feel free to join us in our Discord server (link can be found on our website)
I also want to say a big thanks to everyone who has continuously shown support to our project, we appreciate it immensely
Catch you all soon"
