A JP-8 FAQ's
2007-12-25 by hamsterdrum85
Hi, I have watched a Roland Jupiter-8 video on YouTube. The video is located on this site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XxnPH5qahY and I was wondering about the synth sound I heard from 1:41 to 2:27 in the video. Here are my questions. 1. Does anyone here know how to make that sound on the Jupiter-8? 2. Can anybody show me pictures of what the VCO's, PWM, LFO, VCF, HPF, VCA, envelopes, and other controls look like when tuned to this sound? 3. Since I figured that was probably the missing link to the "Human Touch" metallic brass stabs, can anyone show me what the envelopes look like when the sound is altered to go from a pad to a stab? 4. Can anyone send me at least a wav file of the full-length Middle C note in that altered sound? Please answer me ASAP. Dean Rumsey Notes: I now figured that sound was done on the Jupiter-8 because I recorded the audio of the footage with Goldwave and found out that the waves look unidentifiable and similar to the waves clipped from the "Human Touch Extended Mix". I now know it wasn't an Oberheim because I have a demo of a VST Oberheim synth. I also tried the VST Memorymoog, SCI Prophet-5, Yamaha CS-80, Roland Juno-6 ,and PPG Wave 2.2 emulators and still never successfully got that sound probably because of how they're all built.
