The JP-8000 Music Synthesizer has been designed using a first-of-its-kind Roland Analog modeling sound source, combining the fat, powerful sounds associated with vintage analog synths with the flexibility of digital technology and MIDI. One of the following Roland JP-series models: JP-8000 or JP-8080. MIDI Device to use with the synth. AudioUnit / VST Compatible host. You can connect as many JP-8000 / JP-8080's to your computer as you like. Pricing: Includes free support and free updates for life.
Overview
JP6K is a virtual synthesizer dedicated to emulating the famous Super Saw sound, first found in the Roland JP-8000 synthesizer in 1997. It aims to capture the essence of the sound and the behavior of the original oscillator. Even after decades, the Super Saw is still an important tool for producers and musicians all around the world, and is a crucial part of many kinds of electronic music!
JP6K is available as a 32 and native 64 Bit VST instrument for Windows.
All sounds are straight from the JP6K. Some pad sounds use a slight amount of reverb.
Super Saw Oscillator
There are several factors that make the Super Saw in the JP6K different than other synths that provide a similar sound. The original Super Saw from Roland was aliasing, thus creating a bright and “airy” sound. To prevent the oscillator from sounding harsh below the fundamental harmonic, a high pass filter was possibly used to remove unwanted frequencies. The JP6K uses the same design to achieve that special oscillator waveform giving it a unique tone.
Special Detune
Another important aspect of the classic Super Saw, was its unique detune curve. It was non-linear, which gave the user greater control over the detune amount. Even when the detune control was half way, the spread of the detune was small, which made it possible to make very smooth sounding pads. The curve then gradually increased, and at higher values, the detune rapidly spread out to maximum. This unique curve is accurately modelled in JP6K, making it nearly identical to the detune in the hardware.

Pterosaur is a free synthesizer plug-in for Windows.
Pterosaur is a 16 oscillator synth. It’s loosely inspired by the classic Supersaw sound of the Roland JP-8000 in that the output of each oscillator can be independently detuned and panned, creating a very rich sound.
Roland Jp 8000 Vst
The basic waveform produced by the oscillators is a sawtooth wave which can be morphed into a sort of saw/pulse hybrid with the mod control.
