List of VST hardware emulators

[Cmike9783]

Please post the latest VSTi hardware emulators.
Right now I know of Arturia, which makes tones of Hardware VSTi emulators. Anywhere else?
Plesae specifiy if it is availabe for MAC, Windows, or Both!! I currently use MAC.

yes, there are many. Emulations and circuit modelling are arguably the most focused on trendss in development lately .

Almost every developer has some sort of analog-emulating software. It's better if you look around first, see all that's out there and find out which interest you the most.

Are you looking for a specific synth model (like Arturia's line has) or just things that are analog-like?

Besides Arturia, some of my favorites modeled on actual units are Sonic Project's OPX II Pro, AIR's Velvet, and Xils 3 (or 4). For analog-like, but not specific model I like AIR Vacuum or Loom. No idea which of these are cross platform, etc.

Good questions. I guess it doesn't have to be anything specific. I'm looking for that fat sound I guess. Atmosphere, epic, angelic pads. Something similar to Omnisphere pads perhaps. Somethihng about hardware, it just sounds more lush to me. But Omnisphere is pretty much there I'd say in terms of fatness. I will check out those you mentioned!

I just realized that with my music, my first priority is EPIC clear, hardware sounding Pads and atmospheres. It will stand out the most with my music, so I can't short change the quality.
Just listened to Air Vacuum, Very nice, can get some huge sounds!

VirtualCZ - emulates Casio's phase distortion synths of the 80s, specifically the CZ-1.
REdominator - Alpha Juno, crack your glowsticks and kiss yourself.
KiloHearts ONE - nothing specific, but I think they really had the non-alpha Roland Junos in mind here. Very lovely analog emu imo.

Those are the newest ones that come to mind and are all both.

Afraid these are both Windows VSTis but both have a nice sound that genuinely captures some of the original 'magic':

https://sites.google.com/site/mlvst0/ - PG8X modelled on a Roland JX8P. I can't do a side-by-side comparison but a friend had one of these years ago, it certainly seems to have the same mojo.

http://www.buchty.net/ensoniq/index.html#sq8l - Ensoniq SQ80 recreation - no idea of it's 'authenticity' but sounds great.

I love this synth. It is so powerful and adaptable. It's great for 'natural' sounds and also for the wilder stuff. I have found that the filters need to be treated with respect, but the sounds are magical.
