Nobody better be dissing on Duran Duran. Nick Rhodes rules! Certainly Arturia must know that, and certainly that was at least part of the reason for coming up with Jupiter-8V, Arturia’s new Roland Jupiter 8 clone software synthesizer. Like all of Arturia’s tribute synths, it remains true to the original while adding many modern features for convenience. For example, 32 voices of polyphany and 400 presets. From the demo I watched, the sound recreation is stellar, matching all the luscious synth brass goodness and airy pads of the original. The PC/Mac virtual instrument works as stand-alone, VST, Audio Units and RTAS. Pricing and availabililty were not yet announced. SeeArturia’s site for more.
