We’ve fully maximized the Live Set architecture and multi-effects capabilities of the modern JUPITERs, layering and processing the classic sound emulations to create a huge library of “dream patches” comprised of the most legendary synths ever produced. Featuring all-new Tones, Live Sets, and Arpeggio patterns, the collection uses the powerful and flexible SuperNATURAL sound engine to capture the essence of a number of historical synths. But I'd like to hear from some people who have.Ĭollection Overview Introducing JUPITER Synth Legends Roland is proud to introduce JUPITER Synth Legends, a series of free sound libraries for the JUPITER-80 and JUPITER-50 synthesizers. For a DAW I switched from Pro Tools years ago to Cockos Reaper, you can use Reaper for free indefinatelyin demo mode, or buy it and get rid of the nag screen for sixty bucks.I'll preface this by saying I've hardly played a Jupiter 80, and haven't played any VST acoustic instruments. Some of these soft synths give you time limited demos, Arturia for example will let you try out their new V collection which includes a very cool Synclavier and Roland Jupiter 8. My PC is home built with an Intel I7 5ghz (overclocked) and 16gb of ram, and my iPad is the big iPad Pro with 4gb ram. Both give you under 2ms latency with a fast computer. For my iPad I use and Apogee Duet, and on my PC an Emu 1616m. I should also mention your computer and audio interface is going to play a big part how pleased you are with soft synths. Im now looking hard at a triple Moog Mother 32 analog setup (half the price of the Kronos and more unique) I thought hard after getting my Jupiter 80 about getting a Kronos 88 too, but after playing one for about an hour with headphones on at the local GC, I came to the conclusion that there was nothing I was hearing that I pretty much didn't have covered in my studio of soft synths, I was basically looking at replacing my Roland RD-700gx with another 88 weighted key controller, but have decided to keep the Roland for that role and save myself four grand in greenbacks. Also have started incorporating my iPad and the excellent soft synth apps from: Native Kontakt (tons of sample libraries) Some of my most used VST soft synths are: well myself I play/write in the style of Chick Corea, Jan Hammer, Vangeles, some prog type stuff, smooth jazz, etc.

I like its 76 keys and all the pretty colored buttons and lights, it reminds me of my old Jupiter 8 which I foolishly sold in 1988. The Jupiter 80 is now my mother ship (central DAW controller) in my studio. thats like asking whats your recommendation for ice cream flavors :) If you haven't gotten into the world of soft synths yet, after you do that might be ALL you ever use again :) Its been 2 months now since getting my Jupiter 80, and for the first few days I played around all day with it, but after that it was internal sounds off and VST's back on.
