JUPITER III in the studio 2

YouTube via chamberofsounds | July 16, 2010

"Here's another composition created with only the Jupiter III and a simple drum beat in Logic. It's called "Circles". The only effect is a slight delay on one of the higher sounds all the rest is from the box itself. Get your very own Jupiter III at chamberofsounds.com"

"More music on umop.com/parallax.htm

This is an amazingly huge and beefy synthesizer. I am selling it for a friend of mine, but not until I've had a couple of days to play with it! It is the thickest, wettest, fattest synthesizer among at least a hundred that I've owned & played over the years. When I turn up the Cutoff 100% with the Emphasis at zero, the sky rips open and writhing Lovecraftian demons descend upon my condo complex, raining down javelins of sonic plasma into the fabric of ultimate blabbity blabbity you get the idea.

This is an auction demo so there's a few dry moments here and there where I'm autotuning and testing all 67 keys chromatically, but I kept it shreddy enough to hopefully entertain my faithful subscribers for a few minutes."
