Members relis Posted April 28, 2007 Members Share Posted April 28, 2007 My vote goes to CS80, too. I don't know what's so big deal about that synth? That constant brassy sound? Overrated and overpriced imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Don Solaris Posted April 28, 2007 Members Share Posted April 28, 2007 Well, i see people lusting for these, and i see them praised a lot as being the be-all, end-all of analogue synths - but after all, what i personally found when i owned one for a brief time (5 months) was that it basically does your standard poly synth duties. Sure! Now why don't we test this "theory". Find me a 1500$ synth that sound like this:Jupiter 8 Demo Then, give me your bank account number i will transfer 1000$ on it (seriously!), because you saved me twice than that.

Members suitandtieguy Posted April 28, 2007 Members Share Posted April 28, 2007 the JP-8 is the only vintage analogue polysynth i have any interest in owning. well ... that i have any interest in paying market value to own. i'm assuming that as muvh fun as i have with my Juno 6, if the Jupiter 8 is a contemporary superset of the JU-6 then ... {censored} yeah i'm going to own one. sometime.

Now what if Ken Elhardt comes by and does this entirely on the Ion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MuzikB Posted April 28, 2007 Members Share Posted April 28, 2007 The Arturia version isn't bad either. Just downloaded the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members realtrance Posted April 29, 2007 Members Share Posted April 29, 2007 Regardless of the ongoing which-is-better wars, thanks for the music link! Brings back memories of some early '90's Amiga Psygnosis games I used to play, Barbarian, Shadow of the Beast, Leander, Nitro, and my all-time favorite: Amnios! Garvan Corbett was my hero back then (no he didn't do music ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gilwe Posted April 29, 2007 Members Share Posted April 29, 2007 The Arturia version isn't bad either. Like all Arturia virtuals it always sounds good, but as a digital synth and never really similar to the real thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the real thing isn't feasible to own, go virtual. Arturia is the only game in town for a VA Jupiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grumphh Posted April 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2007 Offer stays. Unfortunately i only have a pair of shoddy PC speakers to listen to this to, so there might be details i can't hear - but i really don't hear much out of the ordinary. Sorry. As i already stated yes, the quality of the JP 8 sounds is very high, but i feel confident that what you have played/posted here could be replicated with much cheaper gear such as @Juno for the punch and JX-10 for pads. There were no complex crossmod waves here or anything, just some nice Rolandish sounds.

Members flat earth Posted April 29, 2007 Members Share Posted April 29, 2007 Although im sticking up for the JP8 in this thread, id go along with the JX10/MKS-70. JP8 pads are superb, but the JX goes up just one more gear to my ears, at least in the pad/string dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gilwe Posted April 29, 2007 Members Share Posted April 29, 2007 When speaking pads the MKS70 is superb ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flat earth Posted April 29, 2007 Members Share Posted April 29, 2007 The MKS70/JX10 is 'THE' pad/string king IMHO Gil, i see in your gear list you got a Polysix again. When did you get that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gilwe Posted April 29, 2007 Members Share Posted April 29, 2007 Gil, i see in your gear list you got a Polysix again. When did you get that? Got it a year ago or so, as parts.... still needs to get its computer board repaired (when I have some time....) It also needs new side panels I still regret selling the mint condition P6 I built midi retrofit for ! (sold it as I got the Trident) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Don Solaris Posted April 29, 2007 Members Share Posted April 29, 2007 I still regret selling the mint condition P6 I built midi retrofit for ! (sold it as I got the Trident) gilwe you gave me a link to that slovenian guy who made MIDI for polysix using PIC. However his description isn't 100% clear to me (regarding some contacts and connectors). Since i will soon be building one, is it ok i PM you later with 2-3 questions?

Members Meriphew Posted April 29, 2007 Members Share Posted April 29, 2007 Jup 8? Sounds good looks cool, but not enough to make me want to change my shorts and pony up the 8k for one. Not sure where you've been checking prices on JP8's, but they don't go for 8k. Their prices on the used market aren't too out of line when you consider what they went for new.
