Jup-8 V is a powerful addition to the family of analog synthesizer recreations by Arturia. Offering the unique sound palette of the Roland Jupiter 8, this virtual version is a sound designer's dream.
Roland Jupiter-8 was the flagship synthesizer that put Japanese manufacturers on the map as serious competitors the early 80s. With its colorful user interface and great sound, Jupiter-8 was a hit among musicians the world over.
The original instrument was known for its lush pads and haunting leads, its ability to split and layer sounds and its flexible arpeggiator. Jup-8 V not only provides these original features, it created an original sound that is respected to this day. Arturia added the ability to patch effects into the voice path, further expanding the sound palette, and then added a step sequencer and a bold new modulator called 'Galaxy.' These new innovations take this product 'beyond Jupiter' and back!
