A lot of effort and time went into optimizing the factory patches to sound as authentic as possible using the original patch sheets, various youtube videos and the clips on synthmania.
Of course not all presets could be re-programmed featuring the same degree of authenticity, some are pretty close, others not. But also those at least should be similar. Some of the effect sounds couldn't be re-programmed at all since some features were missing. Those were replaced by a similar sounding alternative sound. Read the "readme" info file in the collection package for a detailed report about these changes.
The collection includes the single trial presets that have been posted some weeks ago which in fact triggered the idea to re-program all Jupiter-8 Factory Patches and provide them as a free bank when finished.
During the programming work a lot of variations and new patches have been accumulated as "trash". Some of them turned out be so cool that they found their way into an additional user sounds bank, which in the end turned out to be much more interesting and inspiring all in all than the factory bank which has some great presets but also some really not anymore that hip stuff.
The included banks:
PROII_JUPITER8FACTORIES
PROII_JUPITER8USERSOUNDS
PROII_JUPITER8COMPLETE
The complete bank includes both the Jupiter-8 Factory Patches and the user sounds in one bank for those who prefer this form.
The collection can be downloaded here:

The banks also can be loaded with the demo version:

Here a guide how to place the banks if you are not familiar with it. Mac VFX users read page 2 of the installation guide to learn where the library is located.
To finish a little jam using two of the user bank presets, the "Echo Chords" and the "Reverb Flute":

Have much fun playing!
