"A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY"
 
Jupiter-8

 

Back to the early 80’s, the Prophet 5 and Oberheim OB series dominated the polyphonic synthesizer market. Having that in mind the Jupiter-8’s success, initiated in 1981, took every one by storm.

But what made the Jupiter-8 so successful? Well, in terms of sonic possibilities, it complemented its competition by bringing something different. The Jupiter-8 was capable of creating very versatile sounds. You could easily make 'fat' or ‘Crystal’ sounds with it. In fact, the Jupiter-8 sounded the way it looked, ‘sleek and polished’.

The electro-pop community became quickly convinced by the qualities of the Jupiter-8.'Relax', by Frankie Goes to Hollywood was produced incorporating a Jupiter 8, and players such as Vince Clarke, John Foxx, and Martyn Ware were also using it. The path to classic status of the Jupiter started there. Other artists that have used The Jupiter-8 include Tangerine Dream, Underworld, Jean Michel Jarre, Depeche Mode, Prince, Gary Wright, Adrian Lee, Heaven 17, Kitaro, Elvis Costello, Tears for Fears, Huey Lewis and the News, Journey, Devo, Freddy Fresh, Simple Minds, Jan Hammer and BT.

AN ACCURATE RECREATION OF THE ROLAND JUPITER-8

The legacy of the Roland Jupiter synthesizers  is due to their unique  voice architecture and  design, creating sounds that were so unreal  that they  have to be heard. For many musicians  no other synths in the world  can create analog  sounds as cool and as authentic as these.
 

  • The Jupiter-8 offers a very interesting combination of a high-pass non resonant filter and a low-pass resonant filter.
  • The arpeggiator and the keyboard split make it a remarkable performance keyboard.
  • Fast envelopes and precise oscillators confer to the Jupiter-8’s sounds its famous versatility.


You can easily make 'Phat' or ‘Crystal’ sounds with it.

 

INNOVATIVE ADDITIONS

With the Jupiter-8V Arturia brings this magic  back while adding a new generation of  features opening a unique and contemporary  sound palette:

 

Jupiter-8V Galaxy module

 

 

The Galaxy allows the user to choose from different LFO types and intertwine them together into a single unique modulation source, giving a new evolving element to the sound of the Jupiter 8.

 
 

Jupiter-8V Sequencer

The Jupiter's step sequencer is also an assignable modulation source, which allows for easily generated patterns to be used to control the many interesting parameters of the sound.

 

 

Jupiter-8V Effects In addition to the step sequencer and Galaxy modulation sources, each voice now has its own suite of creative effects, which can be inserted into the main synthesizer signal path in each voice. Key parameters from each effect can be modulated by chosen sources, adding a new contemporary dimension to the traditional subtractive synthesis sound of the original Jupiter 8

 

SYNCROSOFT PROTECTION     

The Jupiter-8V application is delivered with a USB key containing your Jupiter-8V license and authorizes the software to function. To use the software on a different machine, simply install the software on that computer and then plug in the USB key. In this way, you can use this system key to install licenses of other Arturia products, or other products that use Syncrosoft technology, and carry the license from computer to computer as you wish.

In order to function correctly, the USB key driver must be already installed on your system. The installation program for the Syncrosoft License Control Center is available on CD-Rom and will be launched automatically when you install the Jupiter-8V.

Important Note:
Your license number, and thus the key on which it is installed, represents the true value of your software. To lose the USB key is to lose the use of the software on which the licenses are installed. Take special care of this USB key.
