How do I get 8 voices?

Boutique chain mode: MIDI two JP-08 units together so they act as one 8-voice Jupiter-style instrument.

JP-08 is dual-VCO Jupiter poly attitude; JU-06A is DCO + legendary chorus. Pads on both, but Jupiter likes stacked oscillators and cross-mod more.

JUPITER-8 · 4 (chain two for 8)

JP-08

Jupiter pads and brass on a desk; chain mode restores eight-voice dreams.

Dual VCO architecture, cross-mod, richly programmable ‘80s poly — slider heaven.

VCO-1 / VCO-2 RANGE · WAVE · CROSS: Stacked oscillators with cross modulation.
VCF · RES · ENV: Polysynth filter sweeps for brass and strings.
ENV-1 / ENV-2: Separate filter and amp contours.

Jupiter brass stab
Saw stack, fast filter ENV, short amp.
1. Both VCOs saw, slight detune.
2. VCF ENV amount high, short decay.
3. Play syncopated stabs.
Soft string layer
Slow envelopes, low res, chorus on.
1. Triangle/saw mix.
2. Long A/R on amp ENV.
3. Gentle LFO to pitch for vibrato.
Cross-mod growler
VCO cross-mod for metallic edges before the filter softens them.
1. Enable cross-mod / sync per panel legends.
2. Keep filter half-open so grit stays musical.
3. Compare to Hydrasynth OSC Sync Mutant for the modern cousin.
Two-envelope split
ENV-1 to filter, ENV-2 to amp — classic poly discipline.
1. Short filter ENV, longer amp sustain for pads.
2. Invert: short amp, long filter for soft brass swells.
3. Write both as named patches so live recall is instant.
