Overview

Instruments

The first under the moniker and the first self-contained polyphonic synth under the brand, this synth is a 4-voice poly from 1978. The voices can be synced to create a meaty 4-osc monophonic sound and has been famously used by acts such as the Cars, Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Vangelis and Meat Beat Manifesto. For this synth we deeply-sampled the oscillator section to replicate the hardware use as closely as possible with samples. Every position of the oscillator section was multisampled, and every sound in the library was captured with and without the hardware unison and hardware ensemble effect providing an incredibly rich and authentic sound.

JP Legacy | Saturn-4 Showcase by Louis Couka
A true vintage gem, this 12-oscillator, 6-voice analog polysynth can create massively thick sounds - a pad and drone dream machine. Debuting in 1983 this instrument has been famously used by The Prodigy, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, Devo, Tangerine Dream, Human League and Orbital among others. A comprehensive sampling provides two unison settings for all presets allowing you to create a wide variety of sounds from modulating drones to ripping basses.

JP Legacy | Saturn-6 Showcase by Louis Couka
One of the most iconic analog synthesizers ever produced, and the brands flagship, this featured synth sports 16-oscillators on 8-voices with cross-modulation, sync, PWM, an HPF, variable LPF, an LFO and two EGs. An incredible polyphonic unison mode allows all 16 oscillators to be stacked on a single note! We captured everything, with and without the hardware unison, giving you an incredible catalog of powerful analog sounds.

JP Legacy | Saturn-8 Showcase by Louis Couka
The expanded rackmount brother of our Saturn-6, this 16-oscillator 8-voice super-synth came equipped with fully-analog VCOs and a low boost circuit. Able to replicate many sounds of its keyboard counterpart, this synth wasn't simply a rackmount adaptation but a unique instrument with its own character and strengths. Due to its friendly form factor these were in high demand in the day, popular on tours but equally potent in the studio, used extensively by acts like Tangerine Dream, Herbie Hancock, Vangelis, John Carpenter, Talk Talk, and Madonna. We captured every sound with and without the hardware unison including many unique and inspiring tones.

"

You can immediately feel the warmth and authenticity in this range of synths. The tones are pure, fat and warm, the ensembles and fx are richer (and cleaner) than were available back in the day. Coming from the era these synths were built, I instantly feel the nostalgia and can’t wait to get creating.

The Saturn-8 completely fills the void plus some of not having a Jupiter-8. This beast gives instant inspiration, sounds amazing, and the layout is incredible.

"I love, love, love JP Legacy. I think it’s a fitting tribute to one of the most iconic synth lines of all time. It’s priced well, and contains a deep pedigree of awesomeness. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up."
