Description : The Roland Jupiter 8 synthesizer, perhaps, to the least extent requires a special presentation. Immediately after appearing on the music market in the early 80s, it instantly gained worldwide recognition and, despite its age, is still popular. So his appearance in the V Collection was predetermined.
The Jup-8V virtual instrument looks really real, and even the “paint” that says its name in the corner of the case is slightly worn. The front panel has controls for 54 synthesis parameters. The base part of the synthesizer contains two oscillators with a set of switchable waveforms, a mixer, a single-pole high-pass filter (HPF) without resonance, a resonant low-pass filter (LPF) with a switched slope (12/24 dB / oct), LFO, amplifier (VCA ), two envelopes (for filter and amplifier). Moreover, any of the two envelopes can control the filter. The set of initial waveforms of the oscillators is small, but they can be synchronized and modulated, receiving many new shapes. When using frequency modulation, not only noises and bells are produced, but also clear “glass” sounds.
As for the “sound power”, in the version created by Arturia engineers, the synthesizer also received new synthesis capabilities, as a result of which it became possible to make a sound, which Jupiter 8 could never produce before. These innovations are collected in four additional modules, access to which is open on the extension panel.
