comparison to original ...

Very close,- a little bit thinner IMO,- but hey, for the price that´s a no-brainer.

That sucker sounds pretty good.
I might have to add that big sound.

B.t.w.,- I also tested the TAL emulations,-

Roland Jupiter-8
https://tal-software.com/products/tal-j-8

Roland Juno 60
https://tal-software.com/products/tal-u-no-lx

and BOTH come w/ better/ more authentic tone than the Arturia versions.

TAL makes great stuff. Haven't bought the Jupiter-8 but I've used and owned the Juno 60 implementation for years. Got it originally to make hoovers like all good DnB lads, and it stayed the course for many years after by going beyond the tropes I wanted it for.

Didn’t they do a PhysMod called Lounge Lizzard?

wasn't lounge lizzard AAS? TAL does great stuff, loving their SH01 Bassline synth.
anyway, the click-a-dee-click and knob twiddling techno kids thank you for the heads up on the 8-voice!
had heaps of fun tonight with just a 4/4 909 kick and one instance of 8V. it hits the CPU quite hard, but it sounds really rich with a touch of desk drive emu.
when the bx_Oberhausen got released, I really wanted it, but not at that price. I'm not the comparing kind of synth nutter, but the cherry synth is indeed a no brainer at 25€.

AAS,- Applied Acoustic Systems,- who also make and sell Ultra Analog VA 2,- version 3 possibly meanwhile too.

Yep,- the freeware !
To my surprise, I like it more than the commercial TAL-BassLine-101.
The tone of the freeware plugin is amazing.
I owned a Roland MC-202 module, which is the SH-101 together w/ stepsequencer, display and lots of note memory,- so I know how it should sound.

... the 8-voice! ... one instance of 8V. it hits the CPU quite hard, but it sounds really rich ... the cherry synth is indeed a no brainer at 25€.

Well, many good sounding native plugins eat a lot of CPU.
The TAL J-8 does too.
P.ex. w/ Reason 11, I recognized up to 25% CPU depending on patch and polyphony (6-8 voices).
It might be less in Reaper ...
I´ll test and see.

I owned a Roland MKS-80 rev.4 using the same filter as Jupiter-8 and CEM VCAs.
I´d say the TAL J-8 can replace it.

Martin Lueders´ freeware PG8X doesn´t eat much CPU and is a good replacement of JX8P (basicly 1 voice board of Super JX and MKS70).
Layer 2 PG8X and you´ll get the lush pads.

And I like these 2 Memorymoon suckers because of sound and low CPU usage,- both 64Bit, allowing MIDI Pgr.-Change commands and being coded in C++ ...
"ME80" http://www.memorymoon.com/me80.htm and "Messiah", which looks like a Prophet 5 but is far more under the hood ...

I can´t wait for their former w/ SynthEdit designed "Memorymoon" http://www.memorymoon.com/memorymoon.htm (Memorymoog clone) coming in 64Bit and C++ next future.
