2:53 ps1 sound xD

You started off with the worst sounds possible 😂

Vanguard was literally my first VST back when I tried my first steps on my DAW Fruity Loops. It was like 2006 and this VST was my backbone trying out my first full songs. Only good memories!

This synth reminds me of the sounds of 90's video games

But hive never intended to be jp

One of the best demos for Vanguard 2 on KZbin. Sounds like you had a plan instead of just playing random presets with no idea what those presets are. Really made for an enjoyable video, so thank you.

great video, the JX8P is a 10/10 synth, the vst...is honestly a 5/10, they need to improve a lot still

I wish they just added a simple flutter effect as an option on this plugin. It would be perfect.

I need the soundtrack preset for PG-8X Pls!!

The PG8 ( free vst ) follows the JX8P’s spirit better.

Just picked halion up yesterday on sale and crossgrade price. For £106 it is pretty phenominal. Love it already. Cant wait to get into the guts of it.

0:54 truly gave it away. The clicky filter on the hardware unit always bugged me a bit. Both sound very usable in my opinion and I owned a JP-8080 for a number of years. Sure, there's still that 5% of character difference. That difference is important to musicians when isolating instrument tracks. However, those differences disappear into obscurity in a full mix. The thing I miss the most about the JP-8080 was all the knobs and sliders AND less load on my CPU (one less synth to load into the DAW). Sure, some of the A and B tests are strikingly different, BUT envelopes do not behave the same from synth to synth so perfect comparisons are almost moot. The last 5% really boils down to some phase randomness that seems to affect how dense or loose the detune knob feels once the sound hits your ears (Hive sounded less dense or chaotic in that capacity).

What about just making the same patches using the existing synths in Reason?? There are so many possibilities already.....We don't need more synths...we have enough :-) Algoritm FM can make the same sounds as PX7(DX7)...

Probably is one of the most similar. Thanks!

B - Roland JP8000

B sounds brighter and nicer m sold my jp8k it was starting to break down on me

It sounds amazing and I couldn't tell the difference. I've also used the free Dexed which is great, but I still think this FM Lab is worth because it is stereo and it sounds warmer than Dexed.

What’s the difference between Fabric vs Fabric XL

That's cool and to the point. How about some horror movie stuff? John Carpender comes to mind. That delayed bass guitar in The Thing? *chef's kiss

Sounds better than the real thing tbh

Wich synth engine did you use for supersaw? Clean, normal or dirty?

You just became my new best friend. Thank you for the demo. Some of the sounds are off-the-wall incredible. I’ve had it sitting, unused, on my MPC key 61 and haven’t touched it. Now I know I’ve made a mistake. definitely going to be using this in a bunch of my music. Thank you.

The main difference seems to be in the way the chorus sounds. I like the sound of the hardware more, but it's probably not too hard to dial it back a bit on the emulation to keep things a bit more restrained.

I though the Jx sounded a bit warmer but that’s pretty close

Well I got it, 100%, so......I mean it's close but I guessed the JP 8080 correctly.

A = Hive ; B = JP

97%similar. The difference would be indecipherable in a m8x. The DX7 is ever so slightly phatter on a few sounds ..but that can be addressed by running the Halion through plugins.

sounds pretty good

But the sounds are very Casio sounding , I was there in 1983 myself and even then thought those sounds were pretty weak. It’s all down to production skills to make these sounds any good. And even then how to use a good sound the right way.

I have all 3 plus zoetrope is good as well

Thanks for taking the time to share this.

Love this demo, will have to look into getting 8-Ball :D Out of interest, which Roland TR-707 patch did you use? The only one for Kong I could find was a free one...seems fine but I have no idea how accurate it is, was wondering if there's an official patch out there, or if I should go for something like the Jackbox 7R-707 Reason instrument.

LOVE this! Sent you a Kofi.

I think I am going to start using my Vanguard again. Now I remember why I had it to begin with.

I dunno if all settings are perfectly respected compared to analog but sometimes the difference is striking

Wow - lovely production, great mix - well done! 😊❤

I agree that the patches sound pretty much identical in both versions. I think oversampling is overrated, even though I did oversample the distortion in my own plugin. The Nord Lead sound is not crazy high fidelity anyways, so any potential aliasing might even contribute to the sound like it certainly does in the JP-8000. Overall if I didn't want the additional features like the new resampled waves or patch management, I probably wouldn't upgrade for $75.

It sounds like it takes a lot of the mud out of the picture.

I would buy it if there would be a way to test it before spending money.

how does it perfom under macOS M1 ? cpu spikes?

JP 8080 no doubt

Presets also on the mpc hardware?

how to make the skin? bro

B sounds the nicest. Less of a harsh attack, more 'round robin' style sound and a little more alive and exciting. Please let me know which is which. Also the filters react more on the 'b' example.

It's a very musical plugin, just wish the preset browser was better.

Hi. Please since Thor isn't at the appstore anymore, can I buy an ipad from you that has it fully installed? Thanks

Have you tried switching it off & on?

I’m jealous st glad it’s here. There’ll be updates and fixes I’m sure. Sounds nice!
