Roland JUPITER-4 Key.
Calling all synth aficionados and music producers! Dive into the rich heritage of Roland synthesizers with the JUPITER-4 Software Synthesizer. This powerful plug-in meticulously recreates the legendary JUPITER-4, the instrument that kickstarted a synth revolution in the late 70s.
Warm Analog Tones, Modern Workflow
The JUPITER-4 is renowned for its fat, evocative sounds that defined genres like synth-pop and new wave. Now, you can harness this timeless character in your own productions, with the added benefit of modern workflow enhancements.
Beyond Vintage:
While staying true to the JUPITER-4's essence, the software version offers extended capabilities. Double the original polyphony (up to 8 voices) provides more flexibility for composing complex textures. The Circuit Mod function lets you explore a wider sonic palette in real-time, while extended parameters and an advanced arpeggiator unlock new creative possibilities.
Analog Magic, Reborn:
Roland's cutting-edge ACB technology forms the core of this virtual instrument. By meticulously analyzing original JUPITER-4 units, Roland has captured the unique character and instabilities of the vintage circuitry, resulting in an incredibly authentic sonic experience. This includes the beloved quirks that contribute to the JUPITER-4's unmistakable charm.
Beyond a Single Voice:
Don't be fooled by the JUPITER-4's single VCO. The combination of its oscillator, filter, LFO, and other components generates a remarkably rich and full sound. ACB faithfully recreates the interplay between these elements, delivering the sonic magic you crave. Further exploration is available with the powerful Circuit Mod and Condition controls, allowing you to fine-tune the character to your liking.
Modern Enhancements for Today's Music:
The JUPITER-4 Software Synthesizer seamlessly integrates with contemporary production workflows. Enjoy features like extended oscillator range, adjustable noise, velocity sensitivity, sub-oscillator volume control, and a versatile arpeggiator.
