ARTURIA announces the Jupiter-8V, the software recreation of Roland’s famous Jupiter-8 which was in production from 1981 to 1984.
The Jupiter-8 was a synth that not only inspired a generation of musicians ranging from Prince to Howard Jones, from Depeche Mode to Moby, it was also a unique machine that offered a sharp and crystalline sound while being uniquely phat.
With the Jupiter-8V Arturia brings this magic back. Based on the latest version of TAE® -Arturia’s award winning proprietary technology for analog emulation- the Jupiter-8V offers a new generation of features: The integration of effects within the
synthesis line allows for drastic modifications of the original sound; with Galaxy, a graphical tool made to program two LFO’s in the same time, you get a unique and innovative source of modulation; and with the modulation sequencer you can create
new evolving sounds extremely easily.
Howard Jones states: “My favourite synth of all time is now a soft-synth thanks to the wonderful people at Arturia. As with all their soft-synth Arturia have given us a meticulously crafted software version of the Classic Jupiter-8 with some fabulous extra features to bring us into the 21st century. This is a must have for all of us JP8lovers.”
The Jupiter-8V is loaded with more than 400 presets made by a selection of top
musicians. Fully compatible with the main protocols and systems in the industry, it
can be used as stand-alone software or as a virtual instrument.
