All about the Roland Jupiter-series

Hi,

I just found out that the Duran Duran song, "Is There Something I
Should Know", was not done on a Roland Jupiter-8, but a rival
synthesizer, the Oberheim OB-Xa. I have watched the Top of the Pops
performance of that song ans saw what Nick Rhodes played. The stabs in
Rick Springfield's "Human Touch" was done on an Oberheim OB-8. How can
I be so mislead? All I know is that was the answer to my unanswered
question

well..

TOTP doesn't mean much , it is all done in playback 
the instruments are not even plugged 
so i wouldn't be so sure ..  
a casio would have sound the same :-D 

Regards

I am wondering if it is possible to "emulate" that sound on either a
Jupiter-8, MKS-80, JP-8000, or JP-8080. I have a sample of that sound
taken from "Human Touch (extended mix)" and it sounds similar, but not
the same as the synth sound on a Casiotone keyboard, it sounds much
better and mellower than that that. I looked at the waveforms and it
is hard to tell because it was played in chords. I am wondering if has
any sawtooth and noise sounds in it. Can anybody help me?

Thank you

Dean Rumsey
