Sandwiched between the earlier Jupiter-4 and Jupiter-8 models in name only, the sophisticated Jupiter-6 has sometimes been considered a sleeper release. These days, it has persevered to become one of Roland's most notable and coveted classic synthesizers due to its distinctive dark and complex character. Mercury-6 captures all that is exceptional in this treasured polyphonic classic, boosts its extraordinary feature set for today's DAW production and workflow, and celebrates the ground-breaking innovation from the era that changed music forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1983 as a more affordable alternative to the flagship eight-voice Jupiter-8, the six-voice Jupiter-6 nevertheless staked out an essential position in the history of analog polysynths. Though similar in appearance and feature set, the Jupiter-6 stood apart from the Jupiter-8 in its sound and capabilities. Unlike earlier Roland polysynths with lowpass filters plus a rudimentary non-resonant highpass filter, the Jupiter-6 featured a true multimode filter with 24 dB\/oct lowpass, 24 dB\/oct highpass, or 12 dB\/oct bandpass modes. This versatile filter design lent a more aggressive sound than previous Jupiters, making the Jupiter-6 a natural for cutting-edge techno and electro styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough something of a \"hidden feature,\" the Jupiter-6 VCOs supported multiple simultaneous waveforms, and its two LFOs and oscillator cross mod capabilities provided extensive modulation possibilities. Its earthshaking solo and poly unison modes enabled massive lead and bass sounds, and it was notably one of the first synthesizers to include the then-new MIDI protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough often praised for its harmonic complexity and ability to cut through a mix, the cost-cutting in the Jupiter-6 design resulted in some disadvantages. Output was mono only and it was limited to six-voice polyphony. The Jupiter-6 had an impressive (for the time) split keyboard and patch preset storage functionality, but this six-voice maximum hampered its potential. And though it was considerably less expensive than the Jupiter-8, its timing was ill-fated when the digital revolution was ignited by the release of Yamaha's revolutionary DX-7 FM digital synth the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its noteworthy character, the Jupiter-6 is not one of those synths immediately identified with recognizable sounds from hit songs. Nevertheless, it was the Jupiter-6 behind the bass line of Ray Parker Jr.'s classic \"Ghostbusters,\" and it found purchase in the work of Human League, Tangerine Dream, Thomas Dolby, Trans-X, Vangelis, and Devo. In a testament to its staying power over the decades, its popularity grew in genres such as big beat, house, and techno through The Chemical Brothers, Moby, and The Crystal Method. Electronic music duo Orbital has been a vocal proponent of the Jupiter-6 and, more recently, it has been a significant part of the sound of Daft Punk and Junkie XL.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cherry Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42022183895118,"sku":"DDJ5241","price":38.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4195\/6430\/files\/cherry-audio-mercury-6-main.jpg?v=1757590548"},{"product_id":"cherry-audio-octave-cat-download","title":"Cherry Audio Octave Cat Synthesizer (Software Download)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCherry Audio Octave Cat Synthesizer - Download\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"\u003eThis product comes in the form of an automated email, containing the serial activation code and a link to the relevant website.

Cherry Audio Octave Cat expands upon the original with up to 16-voice polyphony, and adds a feature-packed “page two” with distortion, phaser, flanger\/chorus, echo, and reverb effects, as well as a super-flexible dual eight-step sequencer capable of modulating numerous parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Audio was thrilled to collaborate on Octave Cat with original designer and Octave Electronics founder, Carmine Bonanno. Expressing deep admiration for the outcome of this collaboration, Carmine notes that Octave Cat feels and sounds just like the real instrument. “Better yet,” he adds, “it goes way beyond what a hardware CAT is capable of. For instance, on a hardware CAT, you can’t save a patch, you can’t control modulation with an external MIDI controller, you don’t have full polyphony, etc.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to capturing the unique sonic character of the original, Cherry Audio added enhancements like sample and hold glide, step-sequencing, MIDI clock sync, a suite of effects, and more. “All of this,” says Bonanno, “makes the Cherry Cat incredibly more versatile than a hardware CAT.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Audio spared no effort to ensure that the Octave Cat was crafted with the utmost respect and attention to the original instrument’s signature features. The result is a beautiful and fully realized piece of music technology that will undoubtedly find its way into the hands of countless music producers in the years to come. With Cherry Audio’s commitment to excellence and reverence for the original, the Octave Cat stands as a testament to the possibilities that arise when innovation meets tradition!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cherry Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42022198476878,"sku":"DDJ5405","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4195\/6430\/files\/cherry-audio-octave-cat-screen2.jpg?v=1757590548"},{"product_id":"cherry-audio-kr-55c-download","title":"Cherry Audio KR-55C Drum Machine (Software Download)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCherry Audio KR-55C Drum Machine - Download\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated 5 Stars by MusicRadar! \"This is a unique and outstanding reincarnation from Cherry Audio, packed with character at both the vintage and contemporary ends of the spectrum.

KR-55C boasts all the rhythms from both models, for a total of 240 factory patterns, intros, and fills. Additionally, it adds 200 original patterns and kits that cover a wider range of genres. KR-55C's user interface shifts based on whether the A or B model is selected and includes extra pages that let this beatbox \"step out\" even further. It features a familiar X0X-style 16-button layout for step-editing and real-time pattern programming, as well as a song mode for chaining up to 99 patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKorg's \"Rhythm 55,\" also known as the KR-55, was introduced in 1979 as a replacement for the simpler Mini Pops 35 and Mini Pops 120 machines. Although all of these models were preset-only with no option for user-programmed rhythms, the KR-55 represented a significant advancement. It featured 48 preset rhythms, 16 intro patterns, and 16 fill patterns. The flexible mixer section allowed users to easily mute or solo individual drum sounds, creating countless variations of the preprogrammed rhythms. Legendary early synth-pop producer Daniel Miller effectively utilized this on early Depeche Mode and Fad Gadget albums, where the KR-55 provided most of the percussion sounds while an ARP2600 synthesizer supplied the kick drums, triggered via the KR-55.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cherry Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42601876684878,"sku":"DDJ6188","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4195\/6430\/files\/cherry-audio-kr-55c-software.jpg?v=1757590548"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4195\/6430\/collections\/cherry-audio.jpg?v=1744192039","url":"https:\/\/www.thediscdjstore.com\/collections\/cherry-audio.oembed","provider":"The Disc DJ Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
