One of the BEST synths on IOS! A Powerhouse packed in a workhorse!
Thirdnail
This is a total “Tank” this thing just wrecks other IOS synths, and doesn’t think about it! Way back when AudioKit came out, I got bought their very first release, and did a little research and I loved that they wanted to come together as a team and donate time to build something special together. I may be mistaken but it seemed like sometime after the 2000 synth release (it may have been a year, maybe two) I seen another AudioKit release, separate from the original AudioKit start to release apps … I may be wrong but I feel like maybe some of the guys that worked on some of (AudioKits) first few releases must have started another “SISTER” team, with some of the developers… But these guys started making some KILLER synths! They have some great ideas, and pushing the envelope hard, milking the IOS platform to push out some creamy, milky smooth, synths, and then just jump into some hard hitting, face smashing, bass thumping, jaw dropping synths! They are fun, they are easy to use, but serious! I would love to see maybe a nod to H.G.Fortune with some of the amazing work he did on the Windows platform, it would be almost a shame not to introduce something like the WOF by HG Fortune! I have paid for every app the day they release it… So I can support these guys, the work they do is legendary, and YEARS to come will still be being used …. I have kept all my old iPads, from my very first iPad 3rd generation… some of the apps that are on that iPad can NEVER be found again, because the developer didn’t keep up with updates… like the Original ALCHEMY app, released on iOS back in 2010… most people haven’t even seen that app… because it became a part of Logic and Garage band… I say all that, just to say…”Hold on to these apps!” Get them, support the devs… because these apps will be legendary one day, and you would have been smart enough to buy them, and hold on to these apps system you downloaded it to…because it will always been on that system.
ABSOLUTE BEAST
TheBlueFox305
The fact that this app has the exact same features and sound characteristics as the original $25K synth for not even a fraction of that price is just mind-blowing. The sharp, polished, lush, and laser-like feel does more than define the sound of the 80s, but literally takes you there. One thing I would add would be a UI style customizer, where you can switch between your own style, or the original JP-8’s layout and color scheme.
Difficulties

I really want to love this. I grew up in the 80s and love the music created with the Jupiter 8. I don’t love it. Here’s why, when trying to perform on it through AUM, the sound frequently cuts out on me. Notes frequently drop. Even when I cut the unison function way back, I still get dropouts. Also an obnoxious static noise that resembles bad hardwire connection. Believe me I’ve ruled that out of my set up. It only happens with this app.The sound of this app is very good. There are a lot of presets, but I would like to have more that were straightforward, useful sounds for playing music. So many of the presets are very unusual and creative, yet not very useful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wow, what an amazing Jup 8 you have provided to us on iOS. The price is ridiculously low. I own everything you offer and have written reviews before. This one is my favorite by far. However, all are so creatively made to serve a variety of purposes. You’re the best of the best by any measure of creating synthesizers I can play on my iPad. Just remarkable presets! So much fun!!
THANKS EVERYONE! UPDATE:
Better Preset Sync. And Import now works on Mac. However, you don't even need to import your banks into the Mac version. It will happen automatically if you do this:
"Preset Sync" must be turned on separately on each device in the About page (the button in upper right of app header)
Open the standalone app on your iPad and turn on the Preset Sync button. Choose Enable Sync when prompted. Repeat these steps in the standalone app on your Mac.
Both devices must use the same iCloud account. Leave both apps open while your presets sync automatically.
To check sync status or manually refresh, tap the ⓘ beside the preset-sync control and choose Sync Now.
Using Logic or another DAW? The standalone app handles cloud transfers.
Includes everything in prev 1.4 update:
