Mercury-8: The Ultimate Eight
Mercury-8 is Cherry Audio’s most advanced Jupiter-8 emulation to date, bringing the legendary JP-8 sound into modern production as a powerful virtual analog synthesizer plugin. Every circuit, oscillator, and filter behavior has been meticulously modeled to capture the authentic character of the original Roland Jupiter-8 — including its drift, warmth, and unmistakable vintage punch.
At the same time, Mercury-8 goes far beyond a traditional JP-8 recreation. Expanded modulation, a dual-layer architecture, modern effects, and hardware-compatible SysEx support make it one of the most versatile and precise software synthesizers in its class.
