Advanced Musical Electronics WebsiteJE-8086 (Roland JP-8000/8080)
If you do not have a JP-8080, this is an emulator that works well. I have it installed as a backup to use. It does sound great and works very well. You would need a valid Roland ROM/Firmware file. If you search on Roland, they may still have this file. You would need to download from Roland.
