Attila M. Magyar has recently released a major update to his MIDI driven, performance oriented, versatile, free and open source synthesizer plugin.
Version 4.0.0 of JS80P is now available for macOS, alongside Windows and Linux.
JS80P has two oscillators (and a sub-harmonic sine), and a lot of filters, effects, envelopes, LFOs, and powerful macros to shape your sound with subtractive, additive, FM, PM, and AM synthesis, complete with polyphonic, monophonic, and split keyboard modes, MPE support, MTS-ESP tuning support, and analog imperfection emulation.
Changes in JS80P v4.0.0
- JS80P now runs on macOS as well.
- New oscillator and LFO waveforms with pulse width modulation (PWM): pulse, soft pulse, bipolar pulse, and soft bipolar pulse.
- New distortion types, including sin(x), sqrt(x), etc.
- New presets: 16 Beats Riser, Ambient Pluck, Chiptune, Octave Bass, and Tremolo PWM Bass.
- The GUI is now resizable which should also fix various font sizing problems.
- Renamed badly named old presets.
- Improved VST 3 event processing order consistency.
- Bugfix: Logarithmic scale parameters were not saved correctly if their value was not modified after switching to logarithmic scale. This is now fixed. (#38)
- Bugfix: The plugin will handle out-of-range parameter values sent by certain DAWs more gracefully.
- Bugfix: In certain cases, the noise generator of the oscillators could turn on slightly ahead of Note On events. Now it’s made sure that noise generators won’t make any sound before they are supposed to.
- Bugfix: VST 3 bundles now use the correct structure.
The plugin is available to download in VST3 and FST (VST 2.4) formats.
