Roland

Legendary '80s Polysynth

The JUPITER-8 Software Synthesizer is a detailed recreation of the original, capable of the same rich pads, tectonic basses, and evocative leads as its hardware counterpart. Featuring eight-voice polyphony, 16 individual analog oscillators, and two or four-pole resonant filters, the virtual JUPITER-8 is a wildly customizable composition tool. From cross modulation to oscillator sync, the synth's expansive effects parameters reward deep exploration. Now available to the world through Roland Cloud!

Features include:
• Onboard reverb and tempo-syncing delay
• Tempo-syncing LFO that locks to your project
• Extended oscillator range
• Condition knob adjusts the sound of the JUPITER-8clean and pristine to warm and broken in
• Serves as computer-based editor for JUPITER-8 PLUG OUT (pre-loaded in Roland SYSTEM-8 Synthesizer)
• VST, AAX, and AU compatible

PLUG OUT to the Roland SYSTEM-8
Taking your creative experience to the next level, Roland's innovative PLUG OUT functionality used in combination with the powerhouse AIRA SYSTEM-8 hardware synthesizer opens up a world of new possibilities. USB-connect the SYSTEM-8 hardware to your computer and enjoy inspiring one-knob-per-function sound-shaping and performance control of the JUPITER-8 soft-synth running in your DAW (the SYSTEM-8 can also serve as a high resolution AUDIO and MIDI Interface for your computer!). When it's time to perform, PLUG OUT transfers the JUPITER-8 synth and all your settings to the SYSTEM-8 hardware - Roland reliablity and no computer needed!
