Cherry Audio’s Mercury-8 could easily be the next-gen Jupiter in software. Built upon the strengths of the original, it takes this vintage classic to contemporary heights, through a series of exceptional enhancements.

Pros

  • Stunningly good recreation of the Roland Jupiter-8, from the early-to-mid ’80s.
  • It’s brimming with contemporary content, but can be perfectly vintage too.
  • Extends the Jupiter’s usability, with a significant number of enhancements over the original hardware.
  • Compared to hardware, it’s a total bargain, even at many times the price!

Cons

  • You might be tempted to try and locate an original, which might be a tad pricier!
