  • Page 6: Introduction

    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.
  • Page 7 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...

    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.
  • Page 15 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.

  • Page 21: User Interface

    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.
