First Roland Jupiter-8 Clone (Sneak Preview)
Acme Synthworks shared this sneak preview of what they’re calling “the world’s first fully 8-voice Roland JP8 clone.”
While they say the prototype design is 95% finished, they say that they “don’t have the resources to turn this into a product right now.”
If this develops into a product, it sounds like the intent is to make it as a boutique, full-size clone, vs a mass-produced, budget copy.
Features:
- Eight discrete voices.
- Original voice architecture.
- 14 Bit Interface Board.
- The circuit follows the original Jupiter-8 design.
All functions of the original instrument are supported. - The envelopes are implemented in analog form using different ICs, while preserving the original behavior.
- The filter section uses IR3109 and BA662.
Details are still to come at the Acme Synthworks site.
