AudioThing has introduced SX1000, an emulation of the JEN SX1000, a vintage Italian synth released in 1978, for iOS, Linux, Mac & Windows.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“The SX1000 was one of the earliest affordable analog synthesizers, designed for musicians seeking hands-on control without breaking the bank.
We have carefully emulated the SX1000’s M110 chip, and also expanded its capabilities by adding features like polyphonic mode, a sub-oscillator (down to -3 octaves), and additional controls for legato modes.
We’ve also integrated an arpeggiator borrowed from a vintage classic polysynth and enhanced the sonic possibilities with four effects featuring flexible routing.”

Sounds really amazing!!!!
I used to have one of those. The PWM was surprisingly rich, but the sawtooth wave was dull.
And thanks for a linux version
Sounds very nice, the filter doesn’t sound 100% like my old SX1000 but nice sounding nonetheless. The original was always crying out for a sub osc.
Runs well on linux thanks
