Roland Cloud Jupiter-8 Virtual Instrument - Lifetime Key

Full Description

Iconic sound, taken even further

Meticulously recreating the architecture of the Jupiter-8, Roland utilise their custom ACB (acoustic circuit behaviour) technology, providing an authentic emulation of the classic Jupiter-8, right down the circuitry. From ground-shaking basses to cosmic leads, the Jupiter-8 is a playground of experimentation for musicians, offering powerful oscillators and advanced modulation arranged in an intuitive layout.

The possibilities are endless thanks to the inclusion of 16 individual analog oscillators and classic resonant filters that allow your creativeness to flow. Whilst staying true to the original, Roland Cloud have incorporated some new features to further expand your toolset. Now included is an onboard reverb as well as a tempo-syncing delay, perfect for sculpting sounds. The oscillator range has been extended, providing a more diverse tonal palette.

One of the most unique features introduced, is the ability to change the condition of the synth’s circuitry. Using the hardware synth, over time the synth’s circuitry would age, resulting in varied sound when used over long periods. Using the condition knob you can emulate these tonal changes, switching from a clean and pristine sound to a more varied ‘broken in’ setting.

Plug-Out with System-8

In-depth integration is available using the Plug-Out format allowing you to use Roland’s System-8 hardware synth. From here, the parameters are mapped automatically to System-8’s controls. Unlike the scarcely available hardware version of the Jupiiter-8, the virtual instrument version doesn’t require frequency tune-ups and costly maintenance. You can also use the plugin alongside the Roland Boutique JU-06/JU-06 A for hands-on control.
