INTRODUCTION Arturia would like to thank you for purchasing our synthesizer model: the Jup-8 V. We are confident it will prove to be an extremely valuable addition to your music production studio. If you’ve purchased our products before, you know we pride ourselves in faithfully recreating the sound and feel of the original instruments, down to the smallest detail.

These were the 101 Synthesizer, the 102 Expander, the 103 Mixer (including a simple reverb), the 104 Sequencer, and the 109 Monitor Speakers. These units fit together to produce a system that sounded really interesting. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...

“computerised bass machine”, the little silver box and its companion, the TR606 “Drumatix”, were intended for use as replacements for a bass guitarist and a drummer. The TB303 had a very characteristic filter, and a built-in sequencer. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...
The Jupiter-8 is often considered the biggest and fattest of the Roland Jupiter family. The Jupiter-8 offers eight analog voices. The sound of the Jupiter-8 is often referred to as fat and crispy clear at the same time. The Fast envelopes make it ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...
As a matter of fact, every single setting can be saved and recalled in a heartbeat. This allows perfect integration with your project and saves a lot of time compared to the original Jupiter-8. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...

But you’ll notice there are two lines on the graph: Those are the superimposed frequency domain plots for both one of Arturia's virtual instruments and the hardware filter being emulated. They are practically indistinguishable, both on the graph and to the human ear.

So here’s the bottom line: when you bring together a bunch of music lovers who also have a deep understanding of the characteristics of electronic circuits, you wind up with Arturia. And Arturia now offers you our most impressive software model yet, the JUP-8 V.
In order to proceed, go to this web page and follow the instructions: http://www.arturia.com/register Note: If you don’t have an Arturia account yet, you will need to create one. The process is quick, but it does require that you can access your email address during the registration process.

You can use more than one instance of JUP-8 V in a DAW project. In standalone mode you can only use one at once. You can route JUP-8 V’s audio outputs more creatively inside your DAW using the DAW’s own audio routing system. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...
In this chapter we will give an overview of the features available to you with JUP-8 V. As with every Arturia product, we have gone to great lengths to make the use of this software instrument as simple and as much fun as possible, while also striving to make sure you never run out of new things to do with it as your knowledge expands.
Both types are stored in the .jupx format. After selecting this option, the default path to these files will appear in the window, but you can navigate to whichever folder you are using. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...

The Preset browser is invoked by clicking the toolbar button that has four vertical lines. See section 3.3 of the manual for full details on this. The Filter, name field and left / right arrows in the toolbar all assist with preset selection. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...
A typical example might be to map a real expression pedal to the virtual volume pedal, or buttons on a controller to the effect switches so you can change the sound from your hardware keyboard. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...

Jup-8 V is in monophonic mode. In “Low” mode we will hear the lowest note, in “High” mode the highest note, and in “Last” mode the last note played on the keyboard. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...
CPU being used. Setting the number too low can create situation where the voices cut off and create unnatural sustains. The key is to find a balance that you and your computer can both live with. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...
The tag fields can be shown or hidden by using the small down arrow buttons in their title fields. Results columns can be sorted by clicking the same arrow button in their own section. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...
However, if you want to alter the information for a Factory preset you must first use the Save As command to re-save it as a User preset. After this the Info section will gain Edit and Delete buttons at the bottom of the window. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...
“Love” in the main search area, the results of that search will appear here. Similarly, if you previously selected a Type in the Search field you would see the results of that search in this area instead. ARTURIA – Jup-8 V – USER MANUAL...
