jp-8080 redundant with virus c?

[djencode]

agreed. anything i found wasn't "bright" enough was usually fixed with onboard eq or post production

I like the Virus for what it is. It just can't do everything, which is why I'm looking for something to use alongside it. Most likely I'll pick up a Waldorf Q. Played a friends this week and it's my kind of sound.

I think this is the main point, I have got several synths and all of them sound the same but different. I hope warldorf does come back because I want to have a shot of one. From what I've heard it is not my thing but what you hear and what you play can be two different things.

well, i just got a jp-8080 and i have a waldorf Q comming in next week.


should be a fun time then finally i can sit down and make some tracks :P

I decided to try something a little more exotic since I've already got the Virus and a couple of good VA softsynths, so I've got a V-Synth coming in the mail. Didn't cost much more than the Q rack would have either.

The Q is still tempting though.

Nice one - could you do my favour with the JP8080 - setup a patch with second osc off, filters wide open, no mods and constant on evelope and just raw supersaw, moderate detune - a few seconds of each at say A2, A3, A4, A5.

I'm just interested to compare it with the raw equiv on a v-synth, TI and radias - happy to post raw samples in return for anyone else thats interested.

I'd like to hear this too.

i need a place to host the sounds, as i don't have a web host right now. one thing i can tell you, hypersaw sounds a lot grittier than the supersaw does. actually all the waveforms on the jp8080 are very clean sounding, but thin in hte mid lows, which is actually good for me, since thats where the virus shines. just to compare trance anthems, one on the virus will be very heavy, and very gritty, where one on the 8080 will be very bright and very clean sounding

If you want to post the samples up on yousendit or sendspace we can check them out that way and I can host them semi-permanently if there's more demand than that.

How big? I can host them. PM me to work it if you like?
