Hard to say. I'm a big fan of the Roland ACB software. Sounds great to me. How accurate are they? Oddly, no one seems to care enough to post a decent a/b between them and the original hardware. The SE-03 is a lot more complicated than the Jupiter 8, so I'm not sure how their System 8 hardware would fare under the beating of code that could deal with a third oscillator and all the other bits. I know their JP-08 falls flat on its faceplate when you try to get it to do the cross mod stuff. (there is a good a/b comparison between the JP-08 and a real JupiterJCJR wrote:Dunno if it is merely a sales bullet point that the device is analog? Or maybe it would be impossible to sound indistinguishably similar to the SE-02 in a polyphonic DSP digital synth?
But, there's still Legend, which I think is amazing, but it's missing some things like no cross-mod, dedicated LFO, and it doesn't have a sequencer (which I don't care about either) but I think all the rest is basically there. Poly-chain a couple instance together and you've got an 8 voice poly Model D emulation.
Anyway, I'm a Studio Electronics fan. I think their stuff is well worth owning even if you have software or DSP based emulations of analog. I've not heard anything in software or hardware that sounds like it, so if you want that sound, there you go.
