The King of Polysynths

The JUPITER-8 is a highly sought-after polysynth that was released in 1981 and is known for its lush analog sound, warm pads, soaring strings, and infectious lead tones. With the JUPITER-8 Software Synthesizer, you can get an authentic recreation of this vintage icon for your DAW or SYSTEM-8, complete with the same circuit-level recreation of the original instrument, and its beloved quirks and instabilities.

It is revered for its unmistakable sound, with each of its eight voices having two stable VCOs with four waveforms to choose from, a creamy filter that is renowned among synth aficionados, and generous modulation capabilities. The plug-in version of the JUPITER-8 has been enhanced with modern touches such as velocity sensitivity, an effects section, and an onboard arpeggiator.

The newly added Circuit Mod function lets you sweep through multiple trims using a single macro control, which allows you to dial in everything from a factory-primed JUPITER-8 to a road-worn synth that hasn't seen a tech bench in decades. The sophisticated browser lets you explore the JUPITER-8's stunning collection of factory presets, your own custom sounds, and patches downloaded from Roland Cloud.

The JUPITER-8 Software Synthesizer offers full integration with the SYSTEM-8 keyboard. You can change the JUPITER-8's plug-in panel to match the SYSTEM-8 for intuitive, one-to-one control. Or use the PLUG-OUT functionality to turn your SYSTEM-8 into a standalone JUPITER-8 that you can play in the studio or on stage.

The JUPITER-8 Software Synthesizer is available with Roland Cloud Pro (via Pro Selector) and Ultimate memberships or a Lifetime Key purchase. Roland Cloud is also home to software versions of other vintage Roland instruments plus ZENOLOGY, ZENOLOGY FX, Zenbeats, and other inspiring music tools to back your creative journeys.

* Although Roland has tested numerous configurations, and has determined that on average, a computer system similar to that described above will permit normal operation of the JUPITER-4 PLUG-OUT Software Synthesizer, Roland cannot guarantee that a given computer can be used satisfactorily with the JUPITER-4 PLUG-OUT Software Synthesizer based solely on the fact that it meets the above requirements.

This is because there are too many other variables that may influence the processing environment, including differences in motherboard design and the particular combination of other devices involved.
