| Roland JD800 with the sound expansion from the JV series and a usb hardware controller without the keyboard. |

| Korg M1...although I think that's been done already, in which case do the X3 next. |

| evo8 |
| JD800 or D50, although Omnisphere probably covers a lot of those sounds? |

No it doesn't, nor was it made by Yamaha (i.e., the ORIGINAL company that made the DX7 - see the question in my post). If you've ever used, heard, or even read about the DX7, you'd know that FM8 is not the equivalent of the DX7 in terms of sound or features (the most obvious being that the DX7 didn't have a filter) - it is a modern FM synth developed by NI which, thanks to its similar 6-operator architecture and other coding, allows you to load DX7 patches. There are several synths that will load DX7 patches (e.g., Rhino, as mentioned, FM Heaven, Sytrus, Hexter), but none of these = the DX7 either and none of them sound like the original when they are loaded with DX7 patches.
Thanks to the few of you who actually understood the question. ;) I'm not sure what's so confusing the to the rest of you, but the concept is simple: think of a classic DIGITAL hardware synth that you would like to see released in software format by the ORIGINAL company (i.e., not a 3rd-party emulation). Korg did this with many of their synths (e.g., the M1, Wavestation, etc.). What other synths/companies would you like to see do the same? |

Kawai K1 - that thing had a sound all it's own.
I second the call for Novation synths - I've only recently become aware of how good they sound.
Yamaha AN1X - I used to have one, the most fun synth to just jam on for hours. |

i honestly hate these types of synths. They never sound close and they forgo things that would be cool for authenticity which seems pointless considering the emulation is never close enough. If you do an emulation, you better make it have more of everything the original designer would of done had they been able to do it cheaply which is the reason they didn't. ARturia comes to mind.
i would be interested in a direct port of
virus ( they actually did this for powercore in like 2001 and it sounded the same as the virus B )
jp 8000
kprg ms2000
Waldorf Q
nord 2
the thing that sucks is that they would do it if piracy wasn't such an issue and since this stuff is aimed at EDM and hip hop, the main users of cracks, well yup, ain't ever going to happen. |

Exactly the reason I'm not asking about third-party emulations and/or emulations of analogue in the digital domain. The best results of porting a synth from one digital medium to another are going to come from the guys who developed it themselves. |

the sad part is you know they have the schematics that could be programmed with little effort. I mean the jp 8000 , they don't sell, they don't sell anything that tries to be it, yet that is one synth that A, all the dance [people would get , and B, hip hop people would get as they just rip dance off.
I understand nord and virus, even tho virus had a port as those are the lifeline of those companies. But roland ? Even nord, they sell way more pianos and electric keys type synths than real synths.
And if they charged a reasonable price ie 500 ish, who wouldn't.
And the people that use the hardware are just different folks. 70% of nord users are in rock bands. They play live.
The virus I suppose is a studio synth so I guess they would not want to let that code out but maybe UAD could start branching out with synths. What is the minimum latency of the UAD ?
256 samples for your soundcard + 128 - 256 for a plugin, you can play with 512 no problem. |
