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."

Impact Soundworks Releases Chro-Nyx, New Virtual Synth Based on Classic Hardware

video upload by Impact Soundworks LLC

FULTON, MD – Impact Soundworks has released Chro-Nyx, a virtual synth that faithfully recreates the beloved JP-8080 synthesizer as well as elements from other popular hardware such as the Access Virus, Nord Modular 2, Korg Mono/Poly, Roland Jupiter-8, and others. With extensive oscillators, filter models, effects, and modulation capabilities, this virtual synth (available in VST, AU, and AAX formats via Reaktor Player) allows producers to create a huge range of possible tones.

Developed over the course of 5 years, Chro-Nyx captures the look, feel, and sound of the JP-8080, an early analog modeling synth that revolutionized digital music in the 1990s (most notably by introducing the supersaw oscillator).

Chro-Nyx then goes far beyond their original capabilities, integrating components from other vintage analog and digital hardware, along with unique and custom DSP, resulting in a feature-packed virtual synth workstation suitable for many genres.

Highlights of Chro-Nyx beyond the complete feature set of the JP-8080 include:

Dual oscillators with 31 oscillator types, each with unique parameters, and many emulating specific hardware

Dual filters with multiple topologies, slopes, and 5 styles available, such as ‘Classic’, ‘Acid’, ‘Lush’, etc.

18 filter drive types and a unique ‘BOOST’ mode that allows for extreme distortion and circuit bending-style effects

Dual LFOs that can go from extremely slow to audio rate speeds

Combination step sequencer and arpeggiator with optional trance gate

16-slot modulation matrix with Eurorack-style math sources also available

Dual effects slots with 29 modules available including shimmer reverbs, choruses, waveshapers, etc.

External audio input for processing through the full signal chain

Analog-modeled Pre and Post-FX EQs

8080-style vocoder with expanded controls, as well as 12-band resonant filterbank

Chro-Nyx was developed in partnership with Jasper Broeks (Chrono), a DJ, hardcore artist, and programmer who has worked with numerous well-known artists and performed at many festivals around the world. He creates his own synths under the Pulsecraft name.

“As an EDM musician myself, I’ve been collecting both softsynths and hardware for over 20 years, which is how I know that it takes a lot for a new synth to stand out. But having spent over 50 hours producing with Chro-Nyx, I’m in love, and I can’t wait to hear how other musicians use it!” CEO and owner Andrew Aversa said.

Chro-Nyx is available at the Impact Soundworks store for a limited-time introductory price of $79 (MSRP $99). Crossgrades are available for some customers.

Hyper Arpeggio | Roland JP-8080

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto



"Roland JP-8000/8080 | A Convergence of Sonic History and Future Innovation

Greetings, fellow sonic architects.

In the relentless pursuit of unparalleled sound, we often find ourselves drawn to the very essence of what makes a waveform resonate with unique character. It is within this spirit of exploration that we wish to share a recent development, an evolution in the very fabric of digital sound design.

Before we delve deeper into the intricacies, allow us to present the coordinates for this journey:

Explore the evolution: JP-8000 - 8080 (Sample Pack) ver.3.5: https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

The Genesis of Texture: Reimagining Digital Warmth

For decades, the digital realm has strived to replicate the organic nuances of analog synthesis. Yet, a select few instruments from a pivotal era achieved a distinct warmth, a "softness" that modern software often struggles to emulate. This unique sonic signature, characterized by a rounded edge in its harmonic contours, defines a particular epoch of electronic music. It is a sound that transcends mere emulation, rooted in the very architecture of its digital modeling.

Consider the foundational elements of electronic music: the driving pulse, the atmospheric expanse, the melodic narrative. Each requires a specific textural quality to truly captivate. Our ongoing research and development in this domain have led to a significant refinement of a collection dedicated to these very principles. This material is meticulously curated for beatmakers operating within the intricate landscapes of Neo Trance, Future Garage, Wave, Hardwave, and Witch House, where the precise articulation of sound is paramount.

An Unveiling: Hyper Arpeggio and Beyond"

Our latest iteration, designated as version 3.5, introduces a novel element that pushes the boundaries of rhythmic and atmospheric integration: the Hyper Arpeggio. These are not merely sequences; they are high-velocity, BPM-agnostic drones, meticulously crafted to emphasize the distinct, almost liquid phrasing inherent to the original sound source. This particular characteristic, a unique "rounded edge" in its articulation, is a direct consequence of the original hardware's design, a feature that remains remarkably difficult to replicate with contemporary synthesis methods. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of instruments like the Roland JP-8000 and JP-8080, progenitors of the legendary Super Saw, whose influence continues to shape the sonic landscape.

This is the best sound design tool nobody's heard of (and it's free)

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Prepare to meet SoundThread - capable of the most insane sound mangling imaginable - and it's completely free. You might know of Composer's Desktop Project, used by our old pal Aphex Twin on Drukqs. CDP is one of the most powerful software sound design tools on Earth, and is free. It can do things you just can't do elsewhere. Problem is, CDP has never been especially easy to use. Enter SoundThread - a new, beginner friendly Mac/Windows/Linux "front end" for CDP. SoundThread gives you access to lots of CDP's power, but in a simple drag-and-drop modular way. It makes it fun and quick to explore, even if you have very limited experience - that's a big deal. CDP has never been this easy before.

This video was made completely independently of SoundThread & CDP - if I find something cool, I just want to spread the word.

Dr. Endo explores LIVEN Evoke: DAWN

video upload by SONICWARE

"LIVEN Evoke | Acoustronic Synthesizer with Granular Effect
https://sonicware.jp/pages/liven-evoke

DAWN

As light slowly breaks through the darkness of night—
a hopeful morning quietly begins to rise.
I jammed this piece on the LIVEN Evoke, imagining it as a scene from a film.

The drone is built on a cello, layered with a SAW PAD waveform using the Harmonic Wave parameter,
moving gently to support the space with a quiet, understated presence.

Chords are softly played on an oboe, while the violin uses a string ensemble-style waveform pitched one octave down,
adding a grounded presence that stands out quietly in the mix.

The piano plays a repeating phrase sent through GRAIN FX.
The FX is set to fifth-aligned mode, allowing grains to extend up to two octaves above.
These small, rounded grains roll and shimmer through the space—like scattered particles of morning light.

Yu Endo

---
夜の暗闇の中に、少しずつ光が差し込み、やがて希望の朝を迎えつつある。
そんな映画のワンシーンをイメージして、LIVEN EvokeでJamってみました。

ドローンはチェロにHarmonic WaveパラメータでSAW PAD波形を重ねて、
ゆっくりとした動きで空間を静か目に支えています。

コードはオーボエで柔らかく重ね、バイオリンにはストリングスアンサンブル系の波形を使用し、1オクターブ下で鳴らすことで、静かな中にも芯のある存在感を持たせました。

ピアノはリフレインしながらGRAIN FXにSENDしてます。GRAIN FXは5度アラインで、2オクターブ上までのグレインが発生する設定にしており、コロコロと細かく丸みのある粒が、まるで朝の光の粒のように空間に散っていく感じを狙っております。
