Jen SX1000,

my first ever synth. my mum bought me one when I was at school!

My best mate had one back in school. Loved it and we paired it with an SH101 ❤️

Would have loved an SH101 back then. To be fair to the SX1000 we bunged it through a guitar amp and pedals and it sounded great to us back then. We simply don't know how spoiled we are now with music making tools that are so cheap and readily available

I want that Wasp, THE WAAAAASP!

The SH101 belonged to another mate that we borrowed for a fair amount of time (the synth, not the mate). I remember he bought it 2nd hand for £99 from Musical Exchanges in Birmingham, and even though that was the going rate he later fell out of love with it as he felt he’d been ripped off paying £99 for just a mono synth. We were doing after-school jobs to fund this stuff so £99 was a fortune to be fair.

Guitar pedals were essential to shove synths through back then. And now too, it could be argued, no?

Make some new stuff please. Emulate something dope like the Roland vsynth, or create a whole new synthesis hybrid. It’s cool for the clones and emulations, but it’s really keeping us stuck in the olden days of synthesis without moving forward much…behringer is doing so much of this it’s not even viable to do it anymore. If you do do an oldy and moldy at least give it polyphony or new stuff…to make it better than the original. Hahaha I’m just Pleading.

If you take a quick look at the GUI, you'll notice plenty of new features.

We get it, "cheap" old analog synth is not for everybody. Personally, I loved my SX1000, it was my first analog synth, and even if we now have a vintage Minimoog in the studio, I still find myself reaching for the JEN more often than the Moog.
A proper, circuit-modeled emulation has been long overdue. There's no real emulation on the market, just a few Kontakt libraries and a 32bit freebie that sounds nothing like the real thing. I think this little synth deserves it.

Fun note, I had to service the Minimoog twice in 5 years, I never had to service the JEN in 20+ years.

Of course, we’re expanding on it with a lot of new features. Back then, I remember the single oscillator didn’t cut through enough when playing live. I ended up modding it by adding a sub-oscillator with a simple flip-flop circuit. And I also often paired it with guitar pedals, especially a flanger.

Here’s what we’re adding:

• suboscillator (up to -3 oct)
• velocity (volume/filter)
• poly mode and legato/glide legato options
• extra LFO waveforms + sync
• saw shape to control the imperfection of the sawtooth
• pitch bend and assignable mod wheel (vibrato/filter)
• JUNO arpeggiator on steroids
• 4 effects (echo, spring reverb, flanger, wave folder) with flexible drag-and-drop routing

As we plan new synths, this one was the foundation for developing the framework we needed for such emulations. We already have two more synths in progress—both vintage, one affordable and the other more premium (you can probably guess it from the features we have added to this).

Funny now that I bung my Minilogue XD through my Circuit Rhythm and SP404MK2 for fx as pedal prices have shot through the roof lol

Great - thank! (Do not know why the vibe turned so blasé in the thread here. New strange original synths are wonderful! Great emulations of old more traditional synths are wonderful too! It's all good! And your stuff is some of my favorite on IOS!)

Got my ears perked up on that one. TAL-UNO-LX is in all my templates. Universal would be nice to have a pocket Juno

audiothing

We have a JUNO 60 here We have just started the analysis process (and of course the arpeggiator as we are going to use that on the SX1000 too), so it's going to take several months probably. But there are other instruments coming as well

dokwok2

I love the Juno sound, but there's already a credible Juno, TAL-UNO-LX, on iOS. I'd rather Audiothing put its efforts into something else. A Prophet-5 or CS-80 would be at the top of my list for vintage emulations.

Personally I think there’s already a lot covered when it comes to the vintage classics, be it on iOS or AU/VST. Why not something more obscure like the Synton Syrinx with its formant filter? Played with one some 20+ years ago when visiting an owner. More information and schematics at http://synton.nl/syrinx/ Also found a demo on YouTube

When it comes to Audiothing: I like the more experimental apps/VST’s like Wires, Lines, Arguments, Gong, Speakers and Springs the most.

Prophet 5 is covered pretty well by Gadget going auv3 with its gadgets isn’t it?

Anyway I’m sure TAL-UNO-LX is awesome - everybody seems to say so - however I don’t have the funds for an iPad (and probably never will) so if a Juno clone did come to iPhone then I’d be incredibly grateful 👍😊

No Prophet 5 in Gadget, or anything that looks like it.

dokwok2

Gadget has something that resembles an Oberheim.

I’m sure Audiothing will develop what they have and what they’re interested in, as they have in the past. Their apps I’ve used the most have been Wires and Space Echo.

My bad - long time since I opened gadget. I was thinking of Phoenix but, as @dokwok2 said, it’s loosely based on an Oberheim of some description or other.

Keep in mind, Cherry Audio has also expressed interest in getting into the iPadOS app space...

Really? The last time I had an email conversation with them they didn’t seem to be in any hurry at all, like ‘maybe in the future, blabla’. Would be awesome if they did.

Definitely want a Prophet 5 or CS 80 so I agree with you there..:but TAL-UNO-LX is iPad only so for the few of us here who are currently iPhone only a new option would be much appreciated

I've had several interactions with them. They didn't make any promises on timing, but they did say they were working toward it.

I like a lot of your apps… I get where you are coming from, and what is driving your development. I respect it. I also wasn’t aiming at your company at all, it was meant to be a general notion. I still want some new, different synthesis though. iOS is missing a sample pitch, time, and formant synth/sampler and I hope somebody steps in to also bring us into the future as well. If we all make things from the past, in the future there will be nothing to clone?

If I came off wrong, I appologize for that.

Slush

And what about the Prophet VS, I used to own the keyboard version and still missing that weird thing.

I love Audiothing, anything from them is interesting, but of course we need some stuff that hasn’t been covered yet or something obscure that will deliver a specific sound. I also would love to see more drum machines like the Roland CR-78 or the Linndrum.
