Virus Vs JP-8000..which basic waveform is fatter?

[Seeyou]

Madstation: Demo sent!
Hope you enjoy it! But, as I said, maybe you will only apreciate the thing if you use it during mixing yourself. Anyway, if the demo helps you, I am truly glad!

The trance and techno community have difficulty with this concept.

Wow..I had no idea my topic generated this much attention!. Lol

Well the conversation is starting to swerve off, but let me tell you my adventures since I've last posted.

I purchased the SH-32 and found that I probably won't be buying the MS2K for awhile, but I'll probably end up getting a JP8***, rack or keyboard, dunno yet. The Virus is too expensive for me, and I found that it isn't the same in character as the Virus, and while the Virus is very powerful and it's sound is technically evil and cool sounding, I don't see myself with a Virus, I see myself with a JP...maybe because I previosuly owned it before, and I've grown attached to it. Lol.

But otherwise...the SH-32 still kicks my ass, big time. I plan on using in it a guitar synth setup one of these days, because it kicks that much ass that I can go Amir Derakh on it. =D

It basically relies on built-in samples as waveforms, and from there it runs as a VA, so you're able to control all of the sounds as if it were a VA. It's very thick and warm sounding too, in my opinion.

Overall, my setup so far is:
-Korg Triton LE Workstation
-Korg DS-8 FM Synth
-Roland SH-32 "Quasi VA" Synth

I do plan on a Roland JP8 of some sort before the end of the year, as well as a kick ass production computer. =)

So yeah, I guess that's it for now...but I'll still be coming to the board, because while I wouldn't purchase the hardware version of the Virus, I would love to see myself with the Powercore, because that could help me make some ripping experimental tracks and stuff. =)

Ya I have a SH32 too, a good tip to get best sounds:

Go to performance mode
Set all patches to D88 (thats the init patch)
All osc's set to Wave Saw 12 (supersaw)
Now put the fine tunes as follow:

Part 1 Osc 1 Second line up
Part 1 Osc 2 Fourth line up
pan Part 1 to the FULL LEFT

Part 2 Osc 1 Second line down
Part 2 Osc 2 Fourth line down
pan Part 2 to the FULL RIGHT

Part 3 Osc 1 Second line up - 1 Octave down
Part 3 Osc 2 Fourth line up - 1 Octave down
pan Part 3 to the FULL LEFT

Part 4 Osc 1 Second line down - 1 Octave down
Part 4 Osc 2 Fourth line down - 1 Octave down
pan Part 4 to the FULL RIGHT

Hehehe, now just add some little reverb and delay, and you will be surprised :P (all resonance about 30-60. for the slight hiss)


Ya, it sometimes even beats my 8080
