I didn't truly discover this video but rather this video found me after a few days of ogling the uniqueness of the original Jupiter-6 (thanks, algorithms). In spite of my lack of exposure to both the time period and the actual gear, the cold & alien analog character of that machine charmed me. A lot of these older instruments kind of remind me of the nostalgia and high-maintenance protocols of classic-automobiles. We are fortunate to have an attainable manifestation of this historic era. Thanks for demonstrating it.
I used to own (and love) a Jupiter 6. It didn't really sound cold - more warm and glassy with some bad ass bass, depending on the patch of course. This plugin sounds very similar but seems a little cold or harsh at times - again, depending on the patch. :)
WOW! I had 3 Jupiter-6s throughout the 80’s and 90’s and for the most part this nails their sound very well. It sounds just a little more “digital” than the pure Jupiter-6 does. A tad more like certain elements you’d hear out of a JX-3P or even a D-50. But honestly, most of the differences I’m hearing here are BETTER, so I think it’s a good tradeoff. But I’ll be honest, I think the Arturia Jupiter-8 is the king.
@@bmaier490 - The TAL is not nearly as accurate and good sounding as the Arturia. It has low frequency waveform glitch issues that are VERY typical of digital synths. The Arturia is free of these. Also, the layout matters! If you’re going to make a Jupiter 8, make a Jupiter 8! Since I’m so familiar with where the controls on a real Jupiter 8 and the Arturia Jupiter 8 are, having them moved around or different is a real impediment to the workflow for me. I would not want to work on the TAL version.
Your keyboard skills really enhance this demo of sounds. Bought the Mercury-6 earlier this year when it came out. Haven't really scratched the surface with it yet. Have previewed many of the sounds and tried to make a list of favorites. There are so many!!

Ive had four of these over the decades before the s/h prices went absolutely nuts, the plugin is great. i used JP6 on every record i released back in the early 2000's, but the polyphony limit was really annoying and they were already old then and broke a lot, the unlimited polyphony takes it somewhere else and no long cross country trips to a service engineer for expensive repairs... But half of the charm is hitting those sliders, using a midi controller doesnt really cut it for me.
the roland remake sounds proper and clean. i am still happy with the spectrasonics omnisphere, but this one here is so much cheaper! love the sound out of it. we only need to add alot of FX ...........thats the difference, means more cpu power at the end, thanks for showing of! i think im gonna buy it. 80's forever
Thanks for the demo. Sounds good enough to use in a track to me, I don't think I would use it for bass over my analogue bass sounds but other patches I would.
I used to prefer my Jupiter 6 over my Juno 60 for synth bass, but this is a little thinner sounding than the original J-6, I guess. I still want it though. It still sounds great IMO. 😅
Lol, and so it should when comparing the Massive price difference. Personally I wouldn't spend that much on a digital emulation of an Analog...it's never going to sound right, because it simply can't.
It sounds good but is an emulation of the Jupiter-8 while this one is emulating the Jupiter-6, which is quite a different synth, with very different possibilities and a totally different sound.
I bought it straight away and am already using it in my music.

Sounds absolutely gorgious
True that.
Like the real one?
@@dirkkeersmaekers4343 I've got Jupiter 6 and I'm very surprised how close this is. Excellent work!
@@dirkkeersmaekers4343 It's getting closer and closer. I real one is an individual, though. Each one is a little different.
WOW!

how would you rank the tal jupiter 8?

@@danepaulstewart8464 Great info! Thank you, sir.
@@bmaier490 - You’re welcome. Happy to help. 😎👍
Yeah, I thought much the same thing. This has "that sound" but sounds a bit metallic(?) by comparison.
Thanks for your demo. I bought Mercury-6 after saw your video.
Thank you for your comment!

1:19 sounds like Visage’s Fade to Grey
Hi! I don't know but ok😀
I like it so far. Has some real weirdness going on with the Cross Modulation, but that makes it unique.
Dam the mercury 6 (jupiter 6 ) Sounds sublime class keyboard playing
Thank you James

The Mercury 6 sounds great. nice showcase. Curious... did you have to manually assign the knobs/sliders on your 61slmkIII? So handy!
Thank you Mark. In the Cherry Audio Synth there Is a MIDI LEARN Page and you can assign any parameters on your keyboard. Is very fast and Easy.

Aaand incoming Roland jupiter 6 vst in 5..4…3…
Doesn't the Roland cloud have a Jupiter 6 yet?
@@Pulse2AM not yet but they soon will…Seems like they release their vintage synth vsts right after cherry audio releases them lol.

thanks for showing of! i think im gonna buy it. 80's forever
Roland remake??
I don't think Roland has made a remake yet.
Best demo I heard.
Thank you Marcus!
GOOD SOUNDS ... in general - i like the chord progression you play at 7:16
Thank you!
What did you play at the video
@@srrrb5953 my improvisations, inspired by the sounds of Mercury-6!
It would be nice to hear some patches with effects turned off
Can be a good idea for a video. Thanks
Thank you for your video and beautiful playing, I just wonder how does this synth compare to U-he Diva???
Thank you! At the Moment I don't have Diva so I can't judge the difference. Peraohs in future. Stay tuned to my channel. Thanks
The diva has different templates, Roland being one of them so potentially you could program similar patches as the Mercury 6
Thanks for video. Are you happy with your Novation SL61 MkIII for Cubase? I need an upgrade from my Akai MPK249.
Thank you Darren, absoluyely Yes! The Novation SL mk3 is fantastic with Cubase, but also with Reason and obviously with Ableton.
Thanks for the demo. Sounds good enough to use in a track to me, I don't think I would use it for bass over my analogue bass sounds but other patches I would.

How does this compare to their GX80
Is impossibile they are two very different instruments in my opinion.
Is it nks compatible? I see you edit the parameters from the keyboard - what keyboard is that?
I don't have NI keyboard, I use Novation 61 SL mk3
I'm in love.
thank you so much for not talking 😂😂 is your thumb still hurting ? man looks terrible 😂😂😂 good recover
Classic sounds. Yawn. I need new age man.
arturia J8v sounds better
Lol, and so it should when comparing the Massive price difference.
Personally I wouldn't spend that much on a digital emulation of an Analog...it's never going to sound right, because it simply can't.
It sounds good but is an emulation of the Jupiter-8 while this one is emulating the Jupiter-6, which is quite a different synth, with very different possibilities and a totally different sound.
@@partirparlesarmoires Some one had to say it. Yes.
Maybe because the original Jupiter 8 had no midi and different filters? Or why?
Jupiter-6 Is not Jupiter-8 the two instruments are different. The Jupiter-6 was made to be a Little Brother of the jp8 but with a personal character.
This synth has boring sounds - 🥱
Well, if you don’t like the sound of a Jupiter 6, then yes.
