Jupiter-8V / Anyone have any experience with Arturia's Jupiter-8V VST?

« Last post by Baxster on Today at 10:57:43 pm »

Hello everyone,,
I really like a lot of 80's/retro-inspired electro (Grum, Anoraak, Mitch Murder, etc.) and I'd like to start producing some stuff with similar chords and leads, but I don't have the budget to go all out and buy analog synths yet, and I've only been producing for about a year, so for the time being, I'm going to stick with VSTs while I gain more experience. So I did some research and I found out about Arturia's Jupiter-8V which is an emulator for Roland's Jupiter-8 synth. Personally, I think it sounds nice for the price (USD 99.00), but I wanted to hear some opinions from people who have used it before. Is it worth the price? How does it hold up to the original synth? Is it as good as or better than the usual "industry standards" like Massive or Sylenth for this genre of music? Any feedback/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Spark Users Community / DUMMY MIDI DATA QUESTION

« Last post by Ramond on Today at 10:49:29 pm »

Hello everyone,,
I know this may be a dummy question, but I am going nuts on trying to figure out how to export sparks midi data, when working with spark vst in Ableton live 8.1.
I can export midi, and drop them on to midi tracks, but they do not contain all the information in the track programmed in spark. No velocity, or any controller data.

I read somwhere on this site: in Spark preferences panel : activate "send midi from sequencer"
But my preference panel doesnt seem to have a. "send midi from sequencer" buttom!!

What am I missing? Am I a dummy?

MatrixBrute - General discussions / Older presets?

« Last post by gminorcoles on Today at 09:36:50 pm »

If I get some presets from a previous version of the firmware can I load them into firmware version 2.x ?

I am. It good with these semi modular synths I have added the matrix brute very nicely to a song I was working on today but I don’t really know how to make new presets that are good.

Pigments - General Discusisons / Re: [Update] Pigments V 2.0.0

Pigments V2 update is a great update.

The list of new features is huge. And clearly Arturia have taken some user wishes into account in one way or another.

Pigments also have become even more user friendly.
In example the navigation buttons over the center modulation strip that's availble when a modulator window is open. This is a nice way to implement this in a way it's possible. A info on mouse over would be great to have, to see which modulator window you open, when you click the button.

Keep it up Arturia. Thanks for this huge update.

Support have confirmed that V2 presets are not yet NKS ready

Damn!

Can anyone tell me if I use Pigments in Komplete Kontrol, are the new presets available in the on screen menu and just not via the keyboard? Or will I only see them in Kontakt?

You can open Pigments inside Komplete Kontrol, and you can open it's presets through Pigments GUI in Komplete Kontrol. You can also save your own NKS files allready. The only thing that's not there yet is NKS files made by Arturia, but it's not a must to use it.

Kontakt is NI's sampler application. It does'nt host applications like Pigments. It can use audio samples and audio sample libraries.

You can use Pigments as it's own standalone application, or inside Analog Lab, or by it self in a host like a DAW and other hosts.

Pigments - Technical Issues / Re: Click Attack Noise Problem

« Last post by LBH on Today at 07:39:02 pm »

Hi and welcome to Arturia forums.

I agree there is quite a click on the "In Dub We Trust" mono preset, that have a quite closed filter. Are you sure, you did'nt have this click in V1?

If you change playmode to "Legato" then the click go away for legato played notes.

Pigments - Technical Issues / Click Attack Noise Problem

« Last post by federicomaracaglia on Today at 06:43:39 pm »

I recently updated to V2 and I noticed some presets like "In Dub We Trust" now have a orrible noise when playing a line (legato style). Version 1 didn't have this problem, I've already tried to change filter and attack time but nothing seems to solve this. Anyone else has this problem?

Thanks a lot for your tipp. I appreciate that.
I had figured that solution myself, still I think it is a quite obvious feature to have a dedicated knob.

KeyLab Essential - General Discussions / Re: Please help a noob trying to loop with a KeyLab Essential

« Last post by LBH on Today at 05:48:02 pm »

Your welcome.

Yes the DAWs like Ableton live, Bitwig and now Digital Performer can work with loops in a none linier manor.
Some DAWs are easier to learn to use than others though, but that also depend on how you would like to work, and what you find easy to do. Trying out some DAWs might be a good idea. Also to see, which DAW work best with your controller.
