Re: Programming analogue synths...

Roland's recent crop of plug-in software synths offer decent renditions of the SH-101, System 100m and others. They also have a new set of desktop synths that do Jupiter and Juno sounds, albeit with limited polyphony.

The plug-ins are available in a free download trial version.

I remember this announcement over at KVR and they weren't sure if Roland was going to release vst's on their own without System 1 acting as a hardware dongle while also being a controller and having ability to use vst's as plug outs for System 1. Nice to see they can be used without System 1.

A lot of people still wanting an official JP-8000/JP-8080 VST from Roland

JX-8P is a free VST version of JP-8000, but not by Roland. Supposed to nail that Supersaw of the JP-8000/8080 very good.

Also this one not bad for hardware, but some complained of plastic parts. Sounds were good and it is still available to purchase new - http://www.rolandus.com/products/gaia_sh-01/

The Gaia is a brilliant synth, in my opinion; just not tour-resistant!
