ATMOSPHERE and Omnisphere have the best Jup8 recreations/samples out there. if you're looking for authenticity go with those. |

So yeah. Start your cubase session. Figure out what drums you use whether it is battery or guru or whatever. Put your favorite samples there. You want a instrument mapped up with every decent kick you got.
Same goes for claps snares toms ect You should end up with 10 12 tracks with your favorite drums.
Lay down a drum track.
Next create 4 midi tracks that will go out to your
1. roland SH
2. Roland juno
3. Roland jupiter
4. Nord lead.
Next create 4 audio tracks in mono
Then bring the synthies back in mono to the soundcard so that you hear sound.
There. Done.
Actually keep your tc electronic verb.
Find decent hall or plate program and a decent drum room program.
Create 2 aux sends where the sound goes out of the computer and into the verb and back on two busses. Big verb small verb bus,
Create your delay using echoboy on another bus.
There now you used up all your i/o on a 8 in 8 out soundcard.
Save the session because setting stuff up all over again can be boring.
Sell one keyboard 2 tier stand (100)
Sell the ti. (1350)
Sell the nord lead 3. (1000)
Sell the emu box. (200-300)
Sell the power thingi. (75)
Sell the rack. You got plenty of rack space there.(120)
Sell the synthex synth for big bux. ($4000)
Sell the yamaha digital miixer (500-1000?)
Sell the akai midi toy (500) (unless you really like it :D )
Put the nord lead where the ti is now.
Put the three tier stand right next to your desk so that you can turn your chair and reach it.
Put the jupiter where the nord lead is.
Put the reverb and midi interface on in front of you as well and rack it up. Hook your stuff up.
Sell the rack where the yamaha mixer is now. $75-100
Offer the cheap $35 rack on top of it free with the purchase of the mixer ;)
You should make close to 8 thousand dollars and keep everything that is cool about your studio at the same time.
Now eveytime you finish laying down a drum track you got 4 synthis to work with without even pressing ''record''. They are there set up waiting to be triggered.
If you find that the plug-ins give you good enough sound for tracks that haven't used up your keyboards for then that is it. You just got 4 extra sounds. Those sounds will give your track different character. You also have a decent verb in there as well. If you find at the end of the production when you have arranged everything that something could be improved go back and track patches from your jupiter ;) |
NL1 has been sold for some time now, besides - it's not a good midi controller due to lack of aftertouch. Nice job on IDs, though that's a maschine drum, not akai. And tc fireworx, not verb.

Jupiter 8
I'm intrested in buying one of these if you are intrested in selling.
Elka Synthex
I can put you in touch with a collector who is looking for an Elka Synthex. He used to own one, sold it, and regrets it.
PM me if interested. |

both Jupiter and elka will most likely remain - Elka took me 5 years to find and cost me load to import it from Greece and then fix it up. Jupiter 8 is the third one I ever owned, having regretted selling it 2x before. This particular one is in "as new" shape - there's not a single scratch or nick on it. I figure in the end, it will be these 2 + some VA left, and pretty much everything else gone. |

I just downsized/upgraded my studio pretty substantially much for the same reasons you did. Granted, I started with far less (and less valuable vintage) gear than you currently have, but I spent a few weeks pondering exactly which synths I actually used in my productions, which ones I didn't, and which ones I really wanted. So, over the course of a few months, I sold 6 synths, kept 2, and bought 2 more, leaving me with a total of 4 synths that I actually use on a regular basis:
- Kurzweil PC3X
- Access Virus TI2
- Yamaha FS1R
- DSI Prophet 08
Every one of these synths get used in my songs. Plus, like you, my Virus is my main controller. Also, my PC3X is my "piano" (i.e., an instrument that I play/practice on). Now, that may still seem like a lot to some people, but I'm very much an old-school hardware guy (I suspect you are as well) and my tendency is to use hardware over software. But, this is the smallest synth lineup I've had in about 6 or 7 years and, I've gotta be honest, it feels perfect so far.
So, I guess my advice is to consider just trying a smaller setup first - decide which synths you would be most prone to using, preferably something that differs from your Virus, and sell the rest. Then, see if you can find a way to fit that/those synth(s) into your workflow. You might be surprised at how much more manageable it is to have just a few synths, rather than going to the extremes of having a lot of synths, or just one synth. My $.02
BTW, if the Gearslutz forums are any real indication, the Jupiter 8's stock seems to be peaking right now. So, you might want to consider selling soon while the going rate is high and demand is up. |
I'm actually in process of rebuilding my laptop to use as my primary rig. I'll try running just with that and a midi controller and see what happens. This should be a great "synth diet" and may prove to me that I can survive without the rest. |

I sold all my hardware except my first ever synth (a moog) and roland fantom (controller mainly).
Lots of pros are ITB now such as laidback luke.
Watching Rexthedog in last months FM vid, tons of analogue and hardware, and the result of all that gear was, pretty crap and very tired sounding.
By all means keep gear for its own sake, because your a synth nut, whatever, but I firmly believe you do not need any to make great music.
More or less every sound has been heard, so for me at least its about creative tweaking now, the way you apply fx and so on, not about hardware synth sounds. I'm also comming to the notion of self mastering to achieve a unique flavour - or at least semi mastering all the lanes and just not blasting a limiter prior to giving to a mastering pro.
I was listening to those samples of things like future retro and jommox airbass drum machine (from some sample guy on here) and they were like nothing special at all.
Mind you I'm not into making epic trance just now so I could be wrong - perhaps hardware beauties do make a noticable difference for that complex layer rich style? |
