AMSynths Update & AM108 Jupiter-8 / Jupiter-4 Filter


I just received the AMSynths newsletter. The latest news is that the AM8319 Ring Wraith will be in production in early January, and the AM8005 Filter Cube, AM8047 UAF and AM8027 VCO will follow. The newsletter also mentioned their current modules which you can find on their website.

The one module I realized I haven't posted yet is their AM108 Jupiter-8 and Jupiter-4 filter pictured here.

"This module is replication of the Low Pass Filter from the legendary Roland Jupiter 8 and 4. This is a 2 and 4 pole OTA design that Roland first used in the Jupiter 4 in 1980, replacing a discrete version of the filter which took up more PCB space.

This is a warm sounding filter with smooth frequency control and a resonance that gradually increases up to full self oscillation, a sound very reminiscent of the early 1980's.

The difference between 2 and 4-pole modes is not dramatic, with the 2-pole mode providing a more gradual cutoff slope and silky sound."

Other modules in development include:

AM8012 ARP2600P transistor VCF
AM8027 ARP2600P VCO
AM8044 Cascade LPF and HPF
AM8047 ARP2500 Universal Active Filter
AM8475 Odyssey VCF and HPF
AM8706 Titan Modulation Source
AM8280 CS80 Dual SVF
AM8104 Roland JP VCF + HPF"
