All-powerful authenticity
Featuring two oscillators per voice and up to 16 voices of polyphony, the Arturia Jup-8 V presents an unmistakable classic sound that has inspired countless musicians. Capture analog power through component-level modelling and an authentic slider-based interface that invites experimentation and creativity. Explore all the features that made the original stand out of the crowd; a simple monophonic LFO brings motion to your tracks with four shapes, tempo sync, delay and optional retrig to fit discretely just right in your tracks. Dial in VCO frequency modulation, three modes of pulse-width modulation, or full-blow cross modulation for dynamic crashing sweeps. Define distinct characters per voice for massive and unique sounds by switching between using fine-tuning, a noise waveform, octave ranges, switchable sync, and more to unlock a huge range of timbral possibilities.
Classic filtering and envelopes
Get to grips with the original dual filter configuration that defined the status quo for years to come. A resonant low-pass VCF produces electrifying sweeps and bubbling bass, and a separate hi-pass filter smooths out the low end. Bring a sense of play to the filtering section with some hefty modulation, putting the filter in line with your performance with LFO, ENV, and keyboard control.
Two ADSR envelope generators sprinkle in plenty of sonic variation in tune with every note you play. Envelope one can modulate the VCO pitch, PWM, and VCF cutoff. Envelope two can modulate the VCO pitch, VCF cutoff, and VCO level. All of this is achieved with a simple hands-on workflow that can be easily switched up on the fly to produce dynamic and exciting results.
Adapted interface brings out all the tricks
The main interface of the Jup-8 V has been respectfully redesigned to bring out the best of the classic tricks up its sleeve, as well as a few that Arturia has added to boot. Stack and spread sends the pitch of each voice in opposing directions to bring an extra oomph factor. Unison and Detune stack and spread brings an undeniable fatness to your sound. Pan spread discretely applies left and right panning to each of your voices for that luscious stereo sound.
Voice dispersion introduces a detailed emulation of the naturally occurring voltage variations that give vintage analog gear so much character. Jup-8 V gives you total control over this character in the values of six parameters for each voice, from oscillator pitch to filter resonance. Choose from four degrees of dispersion, or dive deep and tweak each parameter to your unique taste.
Jup-8 V is built for playability as much as it is built for complex and nuanced sound design. Expressive controls like LFO Mod and pitch bend are essential to this, but now there are more options to bring a dynamic sense of play to your sound than ever. Add ghost notes and semitone glides routed directly to either VCO, or both at once. Furthermore, route the bender to the VCF for an unmistakable Jupiter-style sound that emphasises high notes and pre-chorus builds.
A simple but powerful arpeggiator is a staple to the classic sound. Jup-8 V brings the simplicity of the instant-access arpeggiator and brings it up to date with extra modes and tempo sync.
All new contemporary features
Arturia has added a range of powerful contemporary features to the Jup-8 V that takes all that vintage analog character and boosts it to the next level. Two additional complex LFOs and a complex modulation mixer provide more sonic variation than ever.
Two 32-step sequencers for Notes and Modulation respectively let you build nuanced components for your song or performance. Both sequencers are enhanced in parallel, with simplified sync options, independent sequence lengths, intuitive pitch values, scales, and more.
Keyboard expressivity has been brought up to the next level with an advanced panel that offers in-depth controls that harness creative keyboard response. In a detailed four-part section you can program Velocity, Aftertouch, Keyboard Tracking, and Modwheel information that affects up to three destinations.
A powerful range of 11 new digital FX takes an already massive sound and gives it the potential to become mind-blowing. Send your pads through huge reverbs, or thicken them up with rich analog chorus. Crush basslines with digital grit, or tighten them up with heavy compression. Three FX slots, configurable in series or parallel, give you all the range you'll need for complex effects without ever leaving the Jup-8 V interface.
Powered by TAE technology
Using proprietary modelling algorithms, Jup-8 V is able to recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation, Jup-8 V is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the instrument, whilst Phi's state-of-the-art physical modelling brings the acoustic properties into the virtual world for hyper-realism. The result is truly a next-level sound that is indistinguishable from the original to add to your productions.
Reviews
"Loaded with effects and extra filter settings, I can now look back at my Jupiter-8 days and smile. The best ghostly strings ever and hi-pass filters in memory." - Chris Pitman (Guns N' Roses)
"Since I've had it, I barely plugged my own Jupiter 8 in, which is a sacrilege, but the amazing thing here is you can stack eight of them together, bust them, or put your filter or effects on all of them at the same time," - Paul Wilson (Snow Patrol)
