We recently had the chance to get our hands on a vintage Roland Jupiter-6 synthesizer which seems to have time-travelled directly from 1983. It looks and sounds superb as on the first day, 42 years ago. The sound possibilites of this analog space station are so impressive that we felt the need to capture its sounds permanently. And what better exercise could there be for SampleRobot 7 to test if all features work flawlessly than starting an intense sampling session with this Jupiter-6?
SampleRobot 7 Pro will bring new release markers to define the release phase of samples. Those can be exported seperately to be used as release sample triggers allowing for a more natural behaviour when the sample playback ends.
Some of the Jupiter-6 sounds are so vast because they make use of the unison mode of the instrument that plays all 6 voices with 2 analog oscillators each at once when you hit a single key. Each of the voices can have a variable detune as well. The good thing when sampling a sound like that with SampleRobot is that you will be able to play this massive sound polyphonically when exporting the project in SampleRobot. You would need a few Jupiters to do this otherwise.
Another strength of the Jupiter-6 is its very special multi-mode filter which allows for many interesting band-pass and hi-pass sounds that cannot be programmed with other synthesizers of the Jupiter line, not even with the famous Jupiter-8.
We plan to release a whole patch bank of 48 custom Jupiter-6 multisamples, devided into the categories: A - Basses, B - Leads, C - Drums & Percussion, D - Keyboards & Organs, E - Textures & Pads, F - Effects
Since the Jupiter-6 is monaural most sounds will be mono with the addition of stereo layering for special sounds.
The sample set will be available in various formats as a paid download in our store.
