Arturia Jupiter8V

Post by spacefunk » Fri Apr 06, 2007 3:06 pm

OK, how come that Arturia can make a GUI that looks just like the original
jupiter without getting several lawyers from Roland on their back??

Are there any differences in the copyright between the tb303,tr909/808,
jupiter8?

and the sound of the jupiter 8v fro arturia does not even come close to the original.
a big disappointment. but i understood that roland approved the gui/name use.

D16 did a way better job than arturia. maybe d16 sould make a nice deal with R.

Its very simple. They was clever enough to talk with Roland BEFORE! Same as they did with Yamaha and Moog Music - and same reason why they didnt a Oberheim-clone because theres no change to getting an OK (from Gibson)

well nothing prevents d16 from ultimately making a deal with roland so the skin can be used after all ? but on a later date...

Gibson is the smartest of the companies, not letting them hack another lame "emulation" that disgraces the original.

Does anyone have any proof of Arturia having permission from Roland? There is no credits notice / disclaimer to be found anywhere...

i really contend with this idea that the j8v is a failure because it fails to emulate the original exactly. there are all kinds of ways in which the sound is very similar and highly recognizable. i don't think that all arturia synths fall into thius category, but i think that the j8v does an admirable job.

I agree. Also the Prophet-5 and not least the Prophet-VS emulation in their Prophet-V is very close to my ears :-)

So where's the proof of Roland's approval, endorsement or anything with regard to Arturia's Jupiter emulation? I haven't seen any yet...
