Roland Jupiter 8-V factory patches for Arturia Jup 8-V

[waltercruz]

Hi people.

Had some time in the holidays, and decided to finish this.

I based my work on the patches posted on this topic. I've used the factory sheets from synthmania to fine tuning some patches that were not 100% right. I used Jupiter 8 from Roland cloud to compare the patches and fine tuning too. The images from synthmania are not that good, and the sweetspots on Jup 8-V seems hard to dial.

As FMR tried to do the same some time ago, I contacted him, got his work and used some of his patches too.

In some patches, the sound is similar to Jupiter-8 cloud, but in others, it's not that good. Did my best, but the Jup-8V has some limitations...

I hope it's useful/fun to someone!

It worked great. Thanks!

Amateur question: how do I load them into Arturia?

Using the import



After this, a new bank Jupiter 8 Factory will appear on your Jup 8-V

Huge props for these!! Thank you. There are plenty of places to listen to the presets -- but this video goes through about half the factory presets. *No affiliation - just passing along a vid... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq4XOVde1Yk

These are hugely useful/fun! - Awesome going through these patches.. Following along the video above.. and dinking around with my mapped Arturia keyboard setting - it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. These really are awesome.

Thanks again waltercruz

Thanks very much for the quick answer and, of course, for the patches!

I used this video and the Synthmania page a lot as references (http://www.synthmania.com/jupiter-8.htm), together with Jupiter-8 Roland Cloud plugin, but Jupiter-8 cloud doesn't implement all the factory patches from Jupiter-8.

Nice to hear this. I had a lot of work tuning the Fred patches. There's some things that just doesn't feels right on Arturia: The LFO range on Jup 8-V3 is from 0-20Hz, and on the original Jupiter is from 0-40Hz. This makes a great difference in the patches that uses LFO to do PWM, by example (a lot of string like patches uses this). The envelopes on Arturia doesn't seem particularly right.. If I understood it right, it seems that at least ENV1 should be mono retrigger, and at least one guy seems to confirm this on Arturia forum (https://forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=88171.0). It makes a lot of difference on playability on patches like 11 Neg Sync.

But some patches are very similar, and useful.

If someone wants a more similar sound, without going the Roland Cloud way (I know that a lot of people dislike software subscriptions), Reaktor is the way to go. There are two ensembles that really seems to have captured the 'Jupiter sound'

JP-80 - this ensemble even have some of the factory patches

ChroJupiter - this guy created 3 roland synths in a common engine (Jupiter, AlphaJuno and Juno). It's more an emulation of the JP-08 boutique. Not a 100% Jupiter emulation, but has a very good sound too.

I have a Syntronik version of the Jupiter 8, but really want to check this one out at some point. I'll download your patches once I do!

Hi! Do anybody have the factory bank/library of patches that come with Roland Jupiter 8 from Roland Cloud?

Not really, but I could try to match some patches... But I will only have some days, because my demo of Roland Cloud expires in two weeks... BTW, I did some updates on the patches, will post them!

[waltercruz]

Hey! With the recent changes in the Roland Cloud I could compare it again with some patches on the Roland Cloud Jupiter-8, fine tune some things and fix other things.

In the patches changed, I mostly matched the LFO rates by ear (Arturia LFO rate is different from original).

Changed patches:
17 Hammer Lead - fix wrong sync and modulation
47 Drawbar Organ, 71 Fat Fifths, 82 Flute and 83 Whistle - fix LFO Speed compared with Roland Cloud version
78 Hard Blip - Small Envelope fix
56 Choir Voices - Replaced with the one from FMR


The patch 23 Echo Piano sounds slightly weird on Arturia, but there's a tricky to make it sound almost right. Copying the patch from patchbook, the keys (envelope?) generate a weird thump when playing the note, totally different from what is expected. But changing VCO-2 to sine makes the patch behave more faithful to the original - the weird thump is fixed.

any idea how to import these presets into v4 of the JUP-8V?

V4 already includes the Jupiter-8 Factory Patches! The patches width Designer = Arturia are the factory patches on Jupiter-8.
