Jupiter-8 background:
Roland released one of it’s coolest (and heaviest) synths back in 1981 and produced about 2000 Jupiter-8’s before discontinuing them in 1985. The Jupiter was released a couple of years before the invention of the MIDI spec and did not have MIDI included, although later models had a DCB port which let you interface the Jupiter with computers, drum machines (like Roland classic TR808) and other midi synths. Roland produced the MD8 “DCB to Midi converter” which connected everything together. There were also a few third party midi retrofits that were produced from companies like Kenton which brought the Jupiter into the modern studio.
Compared to other analog synths manufactured during that time period, the Jupiter-8 is produced with a higher quality and built to last. Compared to the Curtis chips, used by Oberheim and Sequential, the failure rate of the Roland IR series IC’s used in the JP-8, is very low and as a result many of the 2000 original units are still being used today by a wide range of keyboard players and producers. When an original Jupiter is offered for sale it still commands a hefty price and one in good condition can sell up to about $2000. US dollars.
Arturia’s hybrid drum machine
Bax reports on the Musikmesse 2011 in Frankfurt. Arturia announced early this year, the Spark drum machine. At Pro Light & Sound exhibition showed product manager Romain Dejoie Spark and explained the capabilities of the hybrid drum machine all are.
Arturia Analog Experience Laboratory
Laboratory is the top of the line in Arturia’s Analog Experience software/hardware seies. The keyboard has 49 keys and aftertouch; the package comes with 3500 sounds, and you can even edit them using the GUI’s from Arturia’s line of software synthesizers.
Arturia annonces new drum machine @ NAMM – SPARK
ARTURIA announces the upcoming release of a highly creative drum machine: SPARK. It is a complete drum solution made of a software application and a dedicated hardware controller. Combining the power of analog synthesis, physical modelling and samples, through the intuitive workflow of a hardware drum machine, Spark is a highly creative beat production center. Spark will save you time when looking for the right drum kit, will get you hooked by its amazing simplicity and will surprise you by its sonic possibilities.
“For many years, Arturia has been mainly dedicated to creating synthesizers,” says Frédéric Brun, President of Arturia. “Three years ago, looking at the solutions available for drums, we thought we could bring to this area a little bit of our expertise in virtual analog synthesis and physical modelling. Since we also wanted to include samples, we turned to reference companies such as Sonic Reality, Ultimate Sound Bank, Ueberschall and Modern Beats. The project has now come to an end and I believe Spark is a creative, simple and fun instrument to use. It offers recreations of many classic drum machines, an expected delivery from Arturia, as well as innovative drum sets and high quality sampled-based acoustic kits. We added many real time effects and a great controller to offer hands-on workflow. To me, Spark is a great alternative to all the MPC-style, Gigs-of-samples-based, complex solutions available today.”
