New analog polysynth project JX2044 - sounds demo (WIP)

Details

Description

#JX2044 is my latest synthesizer project. It's an analog synthesizer inspired by Roland JX8P. The "2044" refers to the filter chip I used - V2044 from CoolAudio, which is a clone of legendary SSM2044.

Here are some basic specs:
- 8 voices, bi-timbral
- 2 DCO oscillators with CrossMod (AM) block based on JX8P, but with PWM capability, and with added triangle waveform instead of noise for DCO B.
- 3 ADSR envelopes per voice - with switchable Exponential/Linear shape
- 3 LFOs per voice - LFOs can be slaved together for typical monophonic behavior. Seven waveforms - triangle, sine, square, rising ramp, falling ramp, random and noise.
- 4 pole (24dB/oct) resonant low pass filter (with self-oscillation)
- DCO B can be used as source for Filter FM
- master HPF per layer, adjustable in 16 steps.
- Digital effects section per layer, with 4 blocks:
* Resonant filter bank with two modes - "VP330 Human Voice" ("Male" and "Female" presets) and Polymoog Resonator with three adjustable bands.
* Stereo chorus with three modes - "JX Slow", "JX Fast" and "StringMachine" - the last one using three delay lines modulated with dual LFOs.
* 4-stage phaser
* Delay/Reverb

I tried to somehow group the sounds, but there are some oddballs here and there in between. Anyway, here are some bookmarks
