WNAMM07: Arturia Resurrect The Jupiter 8

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 say they have brought 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. Arturia tell us that 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 had this to say about it, “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 JP8 lovers.�

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.
