he Jupiter-8V is the newest addition to the family Arturia’s analog synthesizer recreations. Offering the unique sound palette of the Roland Jupiter 8, this virtual version is a sound designer’s dream. Based on the latest version of TAE®, the Jupiter-8V also offers a host of modern features: an advanced step sequencer, a new line of dynamic effects, a module combining LFO’s (called Galaxy), and lots more.

Extended information

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 arpegiator 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:

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.

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.
