And we're back!! Sorry about the wait my friends--- Summer came out in full force and I promptly forgot about all you and my responsibilities as a Synth-Lord, but wait no longer-- the comparison you have been waiting for is here!
It's time to compare the brand new Jupiter-4 plugout synth engine for System-8 (and available on Roland Cloud) to the tried-and-true Jupiter-8 plugout that came stock originally with the S8 way back in 2016.
For the purposes of this comparison I have set the System-8 up in 'performance' mode so that I can switch easily back and forth between a patch on the JP8 and the JP4 sides respectively, but what this also allows me to do is send all of the control change data to and from each synth engine so that we will end up with identical patches as far as control values go. This way we can be sure we are comparing the two synths in exactly the same state (at least to start before we diverge on features available).
Its super scientific with some very unexpected results. MIDI is very cool!
So which do you prefer? The new Jupiter-4 plugout or the classic Jupiter-8?
