I think that scope platform is a better way to make good analog synth emulations than 'only software' VST replicas in terms of getting closer to the real thing but thne I see more offer in the VST market (arturia, KLC, n.i., etc...just to name a few) than plugins for the scope platform. Do you think will we see more scope plugins from this type in the near future?. If I had to make a wish list I would say: The Jupiter series (4, 6, , Junos, Elka Synthex, OB-Xa, ARP2600
Although it would nice to have more emulations (I have a real Jupiter 4 but would still love a Scope version) I feel that that would now have to be done by a third party - I think Sonic|Core's time will be spent on the XITE and bringing Scope 5 into the future (OSX and W7 64 bit). And of course there are more on the native market as they're companies that specialise in one or two things - they don't have to develop the platform that their plugins work in as well. Personally I only find GForce's efforts worth bothering about in native land (their impOSCar is great - and I have a real OSCar) and Arturia are just *meh* in the extreme.
It would be nice if S|C opened up the SDK to third party developers to tinker with - but with very little returns overall I can't see any but the hardcore, who know what this system is capable of, bothering to learn it let alone create an emulation.
I'm pretty sure one of Sonic Core's next synths is Gizzmo wich is a granular synth. I could be wrong, but the gizzmo was advertised awhile back but never released (sounded great iirc). Modular 4 covers some emulation and there are quite a few other emulation plugins available for scope to satisfy most peoples hunger for awhile before wanting more. I suppose the Solaris plugin will be another emu once the hardware version is released . As Mr Arkadin stated S|C's time might be used up on Windows 7 x64bit, Mac, SDK and overall platform development. It's not impossible to have other Emu's created from them but i would'nt expect too much from them far as plugins go, atleast not anytime soon. Modular 4, the new stock effects and possibly Gizzmo shows that S|C are trying to do as much as they can but their workload is huge so i would'nt expect too much ATM (but would love any new goodies if they brought them). We're probably in the hands of 3rd party for a long time, hopefully when the new SDK is released a few more 'High-End' developers get on board. Time will tell.
Regarding other synth emulation:
- isn't UKNOW 007 mainly inspired by the Juno 106 ?
- what about the Saturn, just the next door to Jupiter ?
By the way, the list of availbale device is already great (Minimax, ProTone, Pro12, Prodyssey, Vectron, Vocodizer ...) and most important the sound is rather GOOD.

The Arturia JP8 is fantastic...every bit as good as the real one I played back in the 80's, and then some...
