I’ve spent quite a bit of time experimenting with that myself. IMO there’s some synths that don’t replicate easily. The usual suspects, Nords, Novation Nova, Virus and the JP don’t have equivalents, with maybe the Adam Szabo viper being an exception but I haven’t tested it out much. Even the Nord from generation to generation have differences.Your jp8000 presets we're really great, spot on recreations. No surprise really as you make great presets and demos. Many thanks due as I usually turn first to your demos if I want to get an idea of how a synth sounds.That’s an old demo, it doesn’t show many of the presets very well. I’ll put together a new this weekend as there’s been an update and a little uptick in interest in corona on my website too.
I do wonder how they would come out on other synths if you were recreating those specific sounds, and which might catch the character best.
I'm always quite surprised by the differences if I try to create the same sounds on different synths, at just how differently they come out.
For me at least, where the synth gui/workflow takes me definitely has some bearing on the final outcome due to not wanting to spend hours, but the general sound of a VST can be seemingly similar, yet really quite different, even for something simple like a pluck, or chime.
Funny enough some analog synths are better emulated in VSTs. Repro is super close to the Sequential Prophet 5 I had, for example.
I don’t really worry about it, but being that I do a lot of trance presets I mess with supersaws, plucks etc a lot.
