I have been lusting after this synth for ages, and i'm sure almost everyone else has too. Its a classic, looks cool and hasnt been recreated yet. Im wondering why the hell not? Arturia is my last hope.. lets face it, if Roland arent gonna step up then somebody else has got to. So c'mon arturia, get started on this.. we want it!

Only after they make an Oberheim Xpander.

Yes, I want an Arturia version of the Jupiter 8.

Unfortunately, as Roland doesn't seem too anxious to grant the licensing to *anyone* for *anything*, it doesn't look likely. Evidently Arturia has already approached Roland with this concept, who turned them down flat.

Oh, and all the closet pirates out there who bitch so hard about copy protection can kiss my ass. If Auturia comes out with a Jupiter 8, I don't care if the copy protection includes a foul-smelling feral extra-y-chromasome mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging neanderthal with a bazooka, I'm buying it.

Leave my Uncle Louie out of this, if you please.

i used to have a jupiter6 .. very nice synth ... totally inspiring. Used it on the intro of this track as it happens.
i've never got my hands on a jupiter8 ... so i'd like to see a software version

Been using VSTis for long Lemmy ? Thought not.

It's the honest users who bitch about copy protection. Warez users don't have to worry.

You guys can flame me from here to eternity, but it doesn't change the fact that nobody -- nobody at all -- has come up with a *plausible* reason to counter software protection. Oh, I've heard plenty of worst-case-scenarios much like mothers use when telling us why we couldn't go to the park by ourselves, but nothing substantiative.

And nobody seems to want to run these "what-ifs" by the manufacturers, which companies like Arturia seem to want to bend over backwards to help. All I see is just a lot of juvenile whining, sniveling, pissing and moaning about copy protection.

Well here's the thing kiddies, software costs money to develop, and this kind of specialized software requires some specialized programming capabilities which don't come cheap or easy. So if a company like Arturia feel compelled to protect their investment by integrating hardware-based copy protection, fine by me. And if they decide they don't want their demo versions hacked into service by integrating that same copy protection, fine by me.

about the Jupiter8 emulation: I told somewhere else that either Arturia or any other wanting to emulate a JP4-6-8 synth has to deal with a competitor made by Roland itself, it is the VariOS-8 and, although anyone can say that emulation is a perfect crap , it is genuine Roland ,and for sure Roland cares of NOT having a direct competitor, call it Arturia or whatever else...so I think that we will have to have our hairs whitened before we can see a "non Roland" synth emulation of a Roland

!

About dongles I'm disappointed...I care about Arturia because, market-is-market, they gave me what I was looking for ( a Yammy CS80 )but, on the other side I have mixed feelings about that copy protection : on a side I recognize their work should be protected from piracy, copycats etc, I would think so if I was doing that kind of work, but, as a devoted customer, I feel like let down...I'm paying good moneys , why should I get limited while warez users don't? Ok it's a matter of principles, no piracy=no dongles but is this the ONE AND ONLY way to limit that?

By the way, I'd rather prefer a perfect emulation of the ELKA Synthex, in praise of the genius of Mr.Mario Maggi...

My friend had the program that you use to create those images a while back. He printed up a few and took them to classes, and about got expelled on it because in the description next to the photo he wrote "This is a gnome, and this gnome likes to suck old mens dicks.

I miss the ol' days.

Who wants an Arturia Jupiter 8???? Because I do!
