Software vs Hardware Emulation: Can TAL J-8X Match Roland JX-8P Sound?
TAL shared this head-to-head comparison of their new TAL J-8X soft synth and the hardware synth it emulates, the Roland JX-8P.
TAL-J-8X is a virtual instrument plug-in that emulates the sound of the analog 80’s synthesizer and expands on it with new capabilities.
Features:
- Emulation of the 80’s hardware synthesizer (rev 2 / OS 3.1).
- Modern filter mode that allows self-oscillation.
- Create and play chords.
- Arpeggiator with different modes.
- High Quality EQ, Delay and Reverb FX.
- Aftertouch and MPE support.
- Microtuning support (tun file import and MTS Client).
- Original factory banks included.
- More than 600 presets by Electric Himalaya, Saif Sameer, Sound Author, Empty Vessel, VIC-20, TAL, Heat Audio, FMR and others.
- Individual tuning for every voice converts the synths DCO into a VCO.
- Reads Sysex files and Sysex MIDI from the hardware device (tone data from JX-8P, JX-10, MKS-70).
- Can also control a hardware device. If enabled, it sends Sysex through the plug-in MIDI output (only possible when supported by the DAW).

TAL J-8X is available now with an intro price of $55.20 USD + VAT (normally $69.00).
