@@MIDERA you surely will Sir ! This movie saves me from staying into a long looser's state of mind, after a fail at graduation...it uses to make people humble and full of "keep goin further" 's spirit. Have a Nice Day and take care Sir !!
Yeah, the ESQ gets pretty hot. For sure it has a ton of character and grit. Reminds me of my Mirage (for what I'd use it for). Strangely enough, the Mirage has much smoother LFOs and Envelopes!
Thanks. Very nice, although I have to admit that I have the feeling I miss out on the subtleties of the synths because of the amount of delay and reverb. I would personally add 30-50% less.
Yes - I think I had done something strange with the FX that I couldn’t figure out. Halfway through I was trying to do something about it but it wasn’t working. They were almost 100% wet, but I couldn’t figure out how to bring that down. Was strange.
re: "can't adjust the volume of the different oscillators", what's the setup on the plug-out? The original Jupiter 4 has one VCO with switchable waveform, a sub-osc that's on or off, and noise that's on or off.
You have a single oscillator but you have access to like saw and PWM, so what I mean is you can’t adjust the individual levels of the saw compared to square wave, unlike on the Juno 60, if that makes sense. Not sure how meaningful that is. Sound wise on the System 8, they do sound incredibly similar. I’m kind of thinking I’d throw the J60 back on instead, I can’t really hear a huge difference. Probably the real instruments sound different, but I couldn’t tell on here.
@@MIDERA Oh interesting, so on the plugout you can set waveform levels on the 60 model? The original Juno doesn't allow that, again it's just a single oscillator with on/off for sawtooth and pulse - but you *can* adjust the level of the subosc and noise. I've been a Juno user for over 30 years and a Jupiter 4 owner for about 17 - the plugout demo here doesn't often sound much like my Jupiter, but it's still a nice sound. For real authenticity of course you'd want the System 8 to break every time you switch it on...
@@synthnerd4539 If you look at the Juno 60, you can see on the right side of the switch for PWM mode, there's a slider for sawtooth and square wave. That's their volumes. On the System 8 plug out, you use the mixer section to bring in the volumes of the individual oscillators. I would probably agree that this doesn't sound like the original, but someone else noted the FX volume and honestly, I think I had made a mistake somewhere in that the FX were 100% wet. I kept trying to fix it, but couldn't (in this video), not really sure what I did, but that could have affected its tone/sound. But again - from my listening, the Juno 60 and Jupiter 4 don't sound entirely different, so, I'll probably go back to using the Juno 60. The only thing I truly love over the Juno 60 on the JP4 plug out is the random arp. That's about it. Otherwise, I prefer the Juno 60! Again, if I had the real things in front of me, my opinion would probably be completely swayed! And I love that about the authenticity, breaking every time you switch it on. Sadly - true.
@@Howdy606 Thanks! Yeah... The Jupiter 6 has no real alternative (well, no plug out at least). There is the VST by Cherry Audio (I think?) and I tried it out and thought it was spot on, but there's something about being right in front of the actual controls and getting lost in it. I actually haven't connected the Jupiter 6 to my MD-500, which I think has a pretty good chorus on it!
@@MIDERA Maybe it's due to the BMC's being FPGA's, so for safety they only get reprogrammed on bootup. I am not sure if the synth restarts if you upload a plugout to it, but if so this might be the case.
@@fabimawn Yeah - maybe? Sounds like you know more than I do about it. You'd think that if they were to do that, most of us wouldn't mind it reloading to hit those second sets of plug outs. I'd gladly accept a hard reset to make that possible!
Another great soundscape. Always loved the DW-8000. I had a Poly 800 back in the day and really wanted one of these...but they were pricey in the 80s. BTW even though I own an Eventide H9000, I picked up the Blackhole plugin for convenience based on your vids. Eventide should thank you!
