None of the others can create the SDD-320 effect - with one exception: The RSP-550 has four presets that do dedicated emulations of the four SDD-320 mode settings. And it sounds really close to the SDD-320. The really essential part is the frequency-cut in the modulated signal with the compensating boost in the direct signal (as described in Mikes quote of Juergen Haibles analysis). In the opposite it is dead simple to achieve the SDD-320 effect, with any modulated short delay, if you obey this (dead simple) equalizing trick. I did SDD patches with my Nord Modular which I think are nearly indistinguishable (does this word exist or is this a germanism?) from the original. Another important fact is the compander circuit, which of course exists in other choruses too. Though it shouldn't do so, it will in fact compress the fast transients, and so will avoid sigificant "shatter" sounds on percussive parts of the sound. Btw: under this aspect the chorus circuit of the JX-8P is quite interesting: there is a very simple limiter circuit in the audio-in of the chorus. Appearently the roland engineers found that the JX-3P can overdrive its chorus; assumingly they wanted to avoid that without making the sound/noise ratio worse. This limiter is not(!) in the signal path of the dry signal, so it might be that percussive sounds are more "incisive" at the JX-8P than on the 3P. Florian
