Does any one know if there are sound samples available for the Arturia Jupiter 8 for Relax as recorded by Frankie goes to hollywood. The hardware Jupiter 8 was used on the original recordings. Also, is it possible to get the factory sounds for the original to import onto the Arturia Jupiter 8
Hi @Keyman44. Welcome to the community.
The Vintage Factory bank in Arturias Jup-8 V4 is remakes of original Jupiter 8 Factory sounds.
You can’t import original Jupiter presets.
I don’t know if this sounds can be found anywhere.
I have not tried to investigate and make the Relax presets - at least not yet. In a short listen The Brass synth sound much like Saw waves with a full open filter and reverb. Perhaps with Phaser effect. But also try to experiment with PWM. Perhaps the sound even is played twice. For example try out the Brass sounds and exsperiment with the settings.
For the Pad sound for example try out the Pad sounds in Jup-8 V4 at least for starting points.
I think many would not hear the difference, if the sounds are not exactly the same. It’s enough to get the feeling.
Perhaps it could be a sound design project for you or for the forum, if someone want to.
Have you tried to create the sounds?
There was a third-party “Hits of the 80s” soundbank made by TeckerBeats that includes all the Arturia presets for “Relax” (Jup-8V, Emulator IIV , CMI-V, Synclavier V), but unfortunately, TeckerBeats is currently on pause.
It might be possible to get those presets again in a week or two. I’ll keep you posted if that’s an option again.
Here’s a cover made using those presets:

And another one (not sure which presets are used here, but you can see the Jup-8V and Jun-6V settings on the screen grab):
