I'd rather not give his name, but the previous and original owner of my Jupiter 8 assured me he used it on tour with the Pointer Sisters until around 1990.

Why I Don't Like my JP8 Why I Like My JP8 To be fair, most of my complaints can be chalked up to the unit is old and pre-Midi. Once I finally get around to sending it off for a good cleaning, and get some of those maintenance issues fixed, I think I can live with the rest. Diametro, it sounds like y...

Composition: Ableton Live 7 (although some processor intensive VST's seem to make it crash) Audio Multitrack - Samplitude 10 basic Audio Single track - Sound Forge 5 I was using Cubase SX 1 for composition, and switched to Live due to the ease of certain things, like being able to quickly swap the o...

If you turn up the VCO levels on your Pro1 the filter charateristics change and the waveforms fatten up slighty being overdriven... My Pro~One does not do this. In fact, turning up both oscillators causes increased inter-modulation between the oscillators as the summed phase of one affects the othe...

Congratulations and great respect to you for your hard work. This is an outstanding creation with a pristine sound.

The Boss CE-300 rack chorus sounds very similar to the Juno/JX chorus,(but not the double one with both buttons engaged) and is alot less noisy. There is a mod somewhere online that alters the input impednace to line levels, making the signal-to-noise ratio even quieter. I always considered the nois...

Ditto with the "no intention of parting with them". Not saying they make great family heirlooms, but I think I would rather shoot myself in the foot than sell my Jupiter. I thought about selling my TB303, but a Devilfish mod might be worth it before Mr. Whittle gives up the business. Jabberwalky men...

I can give you over a dozen reasons why a JP8 is a disappointment in a modern studio environment. Only 2 have to do with sonic character,(the filter doesn't self-oscillate and it can't overdrive to save its life) but as is often the case with GAS, the usability features, maintenance, and the risk of...

This is another impossibly subjective query. What Sound do you want exactly? Something your JP6 is missing? Have you had the opportunity to play either one for any significant length of time? I can relate to this, as I bought my JP8 without actually ever playing one. I just knew I had wanted one for...

Agreed on the basic progression of the track without too much repetition. Bass and drums were great! Well done on sound creation and composition.

I thought the recent Andromeda thread with the comments from Mike Peake and a6dev sheds some light on the struggles to actually build a modern day analogue synth for a corporation(and a struggling one at that) like Alesis. There was another thread I saw here recently where someone pointed out the re...

Heh, you should see the 303 bickering on analogue heaven's mailing list archives. Goes back as far as the list itself. Being the owner of a 303 myself, I'd first point out what often gets neglected: Most 303's don't sound quite like each other. My own 303 sounds more brittle and nasal and actually l...

I use the oft recommended RNC 1773 for limiting(as an insert channel) due to its great price and ultra-transparent performance. ie. what you describe as getting varying patch volumes more equal. I still agree with Stab that you might want to look into a starved-plate valve compressor for some bass s...

Everyone is saying that they're making hoover sounds on various other synths. So then, it begs to be asked for reference sake, what are the key parameter settings to make a hoover sound? First, from the original "What The?" patch, change DCO Env Mod to 0, DCO Bend to 12 semitones, and Envelope Time...

When recording (or playing life, if you're brave enough), you will need to hit the auto tune button quite a bit becasue the oscillators do drift quite a bit. I found this interesting because I had assumed the Memorymoog uses the same oscillators that the Pro~One does: The CEM3340. My Pro~One never ...
