Fantastic tutorial! Your overview of the Jup-8 V was really informative and helpful, and I appreciate the level of detail you went into when explaining the various features and parameters of this classic synth. Your examples were also really helpful in demonstrating the range of sounds that can be created with the Jup-8 V. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us, and keep up the great work!
I have the old version of this, and to be honest I was never completely happy with the way it sounded. It's hard to judge on RU-vid but this new one seems to have a markedly better audio quality to it, perhaps because of the dispersion feature? Anyway, the whole thing is quite impressive. Looks like you've borrowed quite a lot of features from Pigments for the advanced panel - which is no bad thing! I love Pigments :)
I upgraded from V collection 6 to 8 mainly for the new update to Jup and the new Jun-6. The Jup-8 definitely sounds more impressive, to my ears at least! The dispersion helps for sure!
Hi and thank you for your message, we kept the same pricing policy. You get the usual updates for free but when we recreate a synth from scratch, we consider it as a new synth. I hope it helps and I'll share your thoughts with our marketing team.
@@Bezowinz I think the V4 Jupiter update was substantial, very impressive soundwise as well as visually. :) Crisp and clean HD, with a large an colorful GUI. It has a realististic 3D feel visually.
You messed up the arpeggiator in this version. It only hard syncs to the grid that you chose in sync mode. You can't play it off grid, while your DAW is playing back. E.g when sync rate is 8th dotted, you can't start the arpeggiator on any value in the measure other than an 8th dotted. It surprisingly works as expected when the daw stops. In V3 it worked just fine.
In my opinion, the new Arturia Jupiter 8 V4 sounds pretty awesome and "3D" to my ears. It sits well in my mixes as well. I love certain Roland Cloud instruments, but the Jupiter 8 just isn't one of them. Plus the CPU usage is truly horrible, which I honestly didn't think was going to be a big issue for me. And the user experience in general is really really bad, even for the instruments I like and use regularly (JX3P, Juno 106, etc.) If you're just after Jupiter 8 sounding stuff, I'd go for Arturia if you can get a deal. Don't pay full price for just the Jup 8V though, that's a bad deal.
This is why I have decided not to buy NI Komplete. I have barely scratched the surface of what I already have. I think if you can't make music with the VC, you can't make music.
