JULY is a faithful emulation of one of the most iconic polyphonic analog synthesizers from the early 1980s. We spent months living with the original, studying every quirk and charm, from the warm, steady DCO to the silky filter and that unmistakable chorus, then modeled its circuits in detail to bring its soul into software. Available as AUv3 and Standalone
