Arturia Jupiter 8V review
September 2011
The original Jupiter 8 was an 8 voice polyphonic analog subtractive synthesizer released by Roland in 1981 responsible many classic 80′s tracks. Arturia have had a crack at recreating this iconic synth in plugin format. I was going to playing some samples but wanted to get you a bit closer so we are going to quickly walk through the original interface and the extras goodies Arturia have added. Sorry there aren’t more audio examples but this episode was already way too long!
Disclaimer: This is no way a complete walk through, please dont get upset because I missed out X function. I know I missed out X function.
Interested to hear what you guys prefer in a review a detailed walk through like this, or more audio examples & over view approach?

I think it’s a reference for seeing if your synth is in tune
(probably not needed in a VST, but I think various factors could affect the tuning of analog gear)
Yes are bang on the mark, I am told it is a tone for tuning.
Thanks!
