Re: Softube / Model 84 (Juno106 emulation)
Saw this in my morning email - immediately intrigued! While I wish they'd chosen the MKS-80 or Super Jupiter, I have to admit a soft spot for the Juno line, especially the Juno 106, and the JX-10, and... well, you get the idea.
I downloaded it this morning, only had a few minutes to listen, but it does sound lovely. Not sure it sounds exactly like the hardware, but then the hardware, and my recollections thereof are a little long in the tooth. However, while dinking around I was transported back to my first apartment, which is a pretty neat trick! There have been very few plugins (instruments or processors) that have triggered memories like that. (In most cases it has more to do with the fact that I never owned them<G>.)
If all it did was emulate the Juno 106 it would be cool. But like their Mini emulation pieces of the Juno can be used in Modular. I only recently picked up 72, and it has been a lot more fun than I ever expected, especially when using it in Modular. What a clever idea!
I've never been the biggest Softube fanboy, other than Console 1, the Fix Phaser and Flanger, and Modular (and all its modules) I could live happily without them. Lately they've been doing better.
It is tempting!

I love the 106, but between Omni 2 and Diva I'm good.

Maybe I am in the minority, but I never thought the Junos sounded as good as the Jupiters, back in the day.

Re: Softube / Model 84 (Juno106 emulation)
I liked them both, but I own an MKS-80 (Super Jupiter), which might be telling? I do wish I could find a plugin that sounds like (and as good as) my MKS-80. The Juno family is a different sound, not a huge difference, but different.
Adding a Juno 106 (Cherry Audio) added some fun, and I would not be looking at the Softube edition except for the ability to use parts of it in Modular. That was huge with the Model 72, and thus far I'm finding the same to be true of the Model 84.
Still waffling, of course...
