Model 84 Polyphonic Synthesizer - Sound Examples with Matt Johnson - Softube

[@mineralsound]

I sold my Juno and Moog this year, and I was so glad to have Softube's fantastic emulations available to keep the magic alive. I would love to hear Softube's take on an Oberheim next.

[@meilstone]

I'd like TAL to come up with a Moog VST 😂

[@meilstone]

@@listenfidi awesome, have to ask Patrick about the release date... 👍👍👍

[@redbigapplefloppa302]

Brainworx have a oberhausen emulation that is quite good

[@compucorder64]

I love the Softube's especially the Model 80 (Prophet 5), but also this Model 84 is really good too. But, for Oberheims GForce has that one covered really well. OB-e is fantastic, but there's been good sales on the OB-X, and the new OB-1, which is really great too. I definitely rate GForce's Oberheims up there alongside Softube with some of the very best emulation softsynths.

[@kadekbalian]

Matt's skills and style are impeccable as ever. Kudos to Softube for getting him to demo.

[@j-snell-callanen26]

What a fantastic demo. No V.O. no fancy marketing. Just let someone play the thing! Sold.

[@norakat]

I wonder if everything he played was only the Juno plugin? Can anyone from Softube chime in?

[@patrikwilhelmsson2028]

SERIOUS playing and lovely sounds. You're selling this one for them Matt!

[@JiveTalker78]

Matt could make any instrument or software sound amazing, he is that gifted and talented as a musician. But the Softube Model 84 is the real deal, it's such a great sounding instrument.

[@kurtlennon6597]

I'm not sure that I've heard a more convincing soft synth. Can't wit to see which synth Softube emulate next...

[@АлексейНовиков-ь2т]

I'm praying that it will be Oberheim OB-Xa...

[@lifescansdarkly]

@@АлексейНовиков-ь2т Me too!

[@mybiggrin]

Or a Prophet 6

[@fa0179]

@@mybiggrin prophet 5, you won.

[@compucorder64]

It's great. But I think they've done an even better job with the Prophet, Model 80. GForce's Oberheims are really convincing too. I think Model 80/84 & GForce Oberheims are the best emulations. The UAD Minimoog is damn good too.

[@thaexception3406]

Smart move with Matt Johnson on display with your instrument!

[@ernestbuckley8671]

That sound at 1:50… totally does not sound like a Juno 106. Wow. Great sounds all around.

[@VjRoboZ]

Pure funk lead ma bradah.........

[@HasseC]

Just a plain amazing musician. He's so good so I forgot to fokus on the sounds, but - says a lot about the sounds to ...

[@nathanspark4876]

I don't know how they did but this is the best synth emulation EVER MADE, it sounds exactly as the hardware, I'm without words. Super impressed, really guys who programmed/created this SW version is a genius, he did a super incredible meticolous job. It is worth every $. WOW.

[@st0rmchild]

Sounds fantastic…especially in the right hands!

[@ericfricke4512]

Just incredible.

[@CarlitoProductions]

I was looking at some Juno 106 emulations, and came across this, and my jaw dropped. This is exactly what I'm looking for

[@lifescansdarkly]

Such a simple synthesizer and yet such a huge range of sounds! Lots of great programming inspiration here

[@jacobgonzalez4419]

This is a masterful demonstration.

[@Screaming-Trees]

Amazing job Matt and congrats Softube. This really is a masterpiece. I hope you do more vintage Roland stuff.

[@Janomix]

Will be nice, hear sounds from HiNrg or Italo Disco era, fully charged with Junos! Great demonstration, thank you!

[@potzguitar]

Best Juno 106 plugin out there. Thank you!

[@RayTheProducer]

Wow. I have a ‘soft’ Juno but this…just makes me want it. Amazingly juicy presets. And of course, played by a master.

[@Josh-it6uy]

1:20 great Bon Iver type sound

[@Hamfantasy56]

Great artist, great demo, incredible emulation of the Juno 106..this maybe imho not only the best Juno emulation but the best vst analog sinth emulation "tout court" ever made : can't wait the DISCOUNT offer that is planned for the next we

[@murdockscott]

I just picked this up today and I am pleased beyond belief that it sounds EXACTLY like my Juno 106 that I foolishly let go of in the early 90’s. Can’t wait to pull up some Performer files from 1986 (yes, unlike Cubase MOTU still reads its old file formats!) and map the ancient tracks to the Model 84! 😀

[@musiclover-r9m]

chords at 5:08 sound similar to I Feel It Coming (The Weeknd x Daft Punk), but in a different key. Are those chords to a different song? Just curious if the weeknd's chord progression was taken from something released much earlier and that's why it feels so familiar.... Would love to hear the original.

[@zumazmusic]

Matt is THE MAN. Nice sounding Jupiter too. 😎🎶

[@Meteotrance]

I have a lot of rack extension from softube they hardware emulation of compressor and EQ like the trident are crazy good same thing for there tape emulation , i didn't knew they build some fantastic synth clone like this one, it's so good.

[@modwaver]

Really cool!

[@kristosvidinakis]

An extraordinary artist. A wonderful synth. What else do we need? Instant buy .. best software emulation from Juno ever. Thank you!

[@morphoice]

Exceptionally well done plugin. I'll start saving, hopin' I can ever afford it.

[@PluginJunkie]

Two years later, I know, but it's currently on sale for $69 on PluginBoutique. Now might be your chance!

[@michaelknight141]

00:38 ... 1... 2.... sold!

[@brothertoughlove]

Man that sounds good

[@saardean4481]

Hat off to Matt. Having said that I came here to say that I find the Preset Browser on the 84 the most fun killer Browser I have seen in a long time. What a weird structure and workflow. It's like someone woke up and said "you know what? Let's make the browser different than anything else. Just cause we can"- End of rant

[@johnfoumusic]

Love this!

[@Tryggvasson]

Bitchin' sound! The emulation of that chorus is my favorite choruses in the whole wide world.

[@Drfresh1402]

I downplayed Softube for years saying they over price plugins. Those days are over. I’m a huge Phil Collins fan so when I heard the in the air sound perfectly replicated I had to give their prophet synth a go. Purchased it on sale and the rest is history. I now own all of Softube emulated synths and am ecstatic for their next one. Their attention to detail is worth the money. But I’ll keep on waiting for sales.

[@SoftubeStudios]

That's a great song, isn't it? :) Great to hear you're liking the plug-ins! Cheers, David at Softube

[@jubblewilson7643]

This is by far the closest em to ANY real hardware synth. What songs are being played at 0:49 1:20 1:55 3:27 3:54 5:14. Sorry I know that’s a lot but some of them sounds so familiar and then two of them I want to be familiar with

[@compucorder64]

It's really great. I think they went ahead and did even better with the Prophet 5 and their Model 80. To me, it's better even than the U-he Repro, and that's saying something. Shout out to GForce's Oberheims too, they're fantastic too. And a great counterpart to Softube's Rolands and Prophets. I'm not sure I love the Model 77 (CS-80) and 82 (101) as much as the 80 & 84 though.

Imagine if they did midi controllers specific to their plugins.. THAT would be dope

[@CarsonHoy]

My thoughts exactly!

[@JayTheLane]

Midi Learn. You can easily set up your chosen midi controller with this.

[@steffenhenriksen1412]

@@JayTheLane Have do you midi map to active device? :)

[@compucorder64]

It's not exactly for Softube's exact plugin specifically, but Soundforce has a MIDI controller designed for Juno (TAL's Juno 60), that pretty much does that.

[@norakat]

Sold!

[@jamesfaircloth8588]

I’ve been thinking about getting a synthesizer and the price of this one by softube model 84 is so cheap but sounds impressive for something that hardly costs anything ps brilliant keyboard playing i could not remember the names of some of those melody’s you played but i remember hearing them before tho how many presets does the model 84 have anyone please thanks

[@dededragon8877]

02:00 nice lead.

[@radaget3459]

01:19 Is that Beth/Rest by Bon Iver?

Are the sounds played in the video actual presets?

Yes, Matt created a preset pack which you can download from the Softube Product page, it has all these sounds.

[@lundsweden]

Ok, this synth is a bargain, but how much to be able to play like this?!

[@OilRacki]

Can you tell me what that is from 3:40 to 4:33 ? Is that an original work of yours, or is that a commercial song you covered? Either way, it's beautiful.

[@blueeyedsoulman]

Is there a Multimoog VST yet?

[@OriginalRaveParty]

[@jackcimino8822]

1:50 The Juno doesn't have oscillator sync?

[@zxbryc]

That is just high resonance. The preset is Cosmic Girl, but its modified and possibly EQ'd. Just increase the decay envelope and take away a bit of attack, etc.

[@jackcimino8822]

@@SoftubeStudios Nevertheless the registration/installation process is annoying.

[@klownaround5464]

Rayy‘s Musikladen you know what i have always HATED the iLOK system it’s prevented me from actually us using software that was dependent on it but i bit the bullet and just ordered this synth plugin only problem is i am in the middle of redoing my studio and upgrading it and stuff isn’t connected yet , just got both the CONSOLE and the FADER 1 (still in the boxes - i know i know) but I’ve just recently had a very intense back operation from an injury and they put titanium rods and a metal cage in my lower spine so i have to take it a bit slow but i just also picked up the new ASM HYRDASYNTH (still in the box too) along with new JBLS 305 8s monitors with the sub too and a 88 weighted Roland D88 synth for my controller and also got a vintage KORG M1 that’s part of my setup and the AKAI MPC LIVE Midi Drum Sampler/Controller with an AKAI MPK ADVANCED 61 for my softsynths its just gonna take me prolly another month to get it all setup and i just bought the MODEL 84 POLY SYNTH because SOFTUBE GODS heard my prayers about lowering the price back down to $99 so i paid for it on my cc i just hope it doesn’t expire or anything until i setup everything but i am excited like a kid on Xmas and going to try to get my studio up and running and all connected because i have never ever used a DAW before (I’m old school fart who’s used hardware based sequencers for my music production but will be crossing to the other side now ... wish me luck :-)
