Review: Adam Szabo JP6K
Since the rise of dance music and the infamous Roland JP product line, there’s one magic word making producers go crazy: Supersaw. Especially people who missed the JP8000 era have always been looking for a good replacement – and there were very few promising tries, like the Superwave P8 plugin. Since the love still goes strong for a Supersaw synthesizer, especially a workflow-friendly plugin, the well-known Adam Szabo kicked off “JP6K”, probably the best Supersaw-emulating plugin so far.

It’s been quite a while since “Phoscyon” came out and a small coder team named d16 got loads of attention by music producers. While first being critical about just another TB-303 clone it became clear those guys know what they are doing – so no surprise there the plugin’s successors, being emulations of famous drum synthesizers, were a huge success as well. The next big deal to be announced was the effect series “SilverLine” – enough reason for us at pro|tone to have a close look at these. Enjoy!

Despite all the features the plugin already had, discoDSP intended to advance – Discovery Pro was born. We”ll give you an impression of the latest Discovery plugin so far – what it can do, what you can expect, what kinds of creativity you can persue with it, pros and contras and quite some more…
