Arturia Jup-8000 V: JP-8000 Supersaw and Trance Gate in 2026

This Page Is Jup-8000 V. It Is Not Pigments.

Stay here for Arturia Jup-8000 V: the JP-8000-style supersaw, the Trance Gate, how it shipped with V Collection 11 on 24 April 2025, and the live $149 Arturia list as of this September 2026 page. Do not use this file as a Pigments wavetable course, a Serum unison recipe, or a full V Collection 11 buyer’s guide.

KVR’s 24 April 2025 news post is the dated primary for the bundle drop: V Collection 11 introduces Jup-8000 V as a Roland JP-8000 recreation with the famed supersaw, seven engines, multimode filter, multi-arpeggiator, expanded effects, and modulation.^[1] Sound on Sound the same day names the instrument Jup-8000 and calls it a meticulous JP-8000 recreation with the renowned supersaw plus built-in effects and modulation.^[2] This September 2026 article is that 2025 product still on the Arturia store—not a claim that Arturia relaunched it this month.

If you need a general-purpose Arturia synth with multiple engines, use the related Pigments 6 page. If you are comparing modern wavetable VSTs, use Serum 2 vs Vital vs Phase Plant. If you want a free supersaw starting point, use the related Vital tutorial. This file does not teach Pigments.

Shipped 24 April 2025 With V Collection 11. Still $149 Solo.

KVR dated the V Collection 11 release 24th April 2025. The same post lists Jup-8000 V among seven new instruments and puts V Collection 11 Pro at €699 and V Collection Intro at €199, with limited-time registered-user launch pricing on the bundles.^[1] Sound on Sound’s 24/4/25 news post prints the same Intro €199 / Pro €699 pair and Windows 10+ / macOS 11+, VST/AU/AAX.^[2] MusicTech the same day prints Pro at €699/$699 and Intro at €199/$199.^[4] Cite those 24 April 2025 posts for the bundle list. Do not paste a later Cyber Week sticker as the launch price.

Arturia’s own V Collection 11 FAQ still marks Jup-8000 V as new in 11 Pro versus V Collection X. The Intro instrument list on that FAQ is Analog Lab Intro, Pure LoFi, Augmented Grand Piano V2, Augmented Strings V2, DX7 V, Jun-6 V, Mini V4, MiniFreak V, Prophet-5 V, and Stage 73 V2—Jup-8000 V is not on Intro.^[5] If you only hold Intro, do not assume the JP-8000 clone is in the folder.

As a standalone SKU, Arturia’s Jup-8000 V overview and store Buy Now controls show $149 on this September 2026 fetch. Regional tax, account upgrades, and timed sales sit on the checkout—not on this page.^[3][6]

• Cite KVR/SOS for the date The ship date this page uses is 24 April 2025. Arturia’s downloads page still lists a 1.0.1.6366 installer for the same SKU—an update, not a 2026 relaunch.^[1][2][8]
• Cite Arturia for $149 The solo number on this September 2026 page is the live Arturia Buy Now control. Do not treat a third-party marketplace sale as official list.^[3]
• Pro vs Intro Pure LoFi is on Intro. Jup-8000 V is the Pro-side JP-8000 clone. Check the live Arturia FAQ before you buy Intro for trance leads.^[5]

Seven Engines, a Surgical Filter, and a 32-Step Trance Gate

Arturia’s overview: Jup-8000 V reverse-engineered the original JP-8000 circuitry and recreates seven oscillator modes, including the anthemic supersaw. Osc 1 carries Supersaw, Triangle Mod, Feedback, Noise, Square, Saw, and Triangle. Osc 2 is Pulse/Saw/Triangle with sync, wide tuning, and PWM. Ring mod and X-Mod sit in the common oscillator section.^[3] MusicTech: seven synthesis engines, a surgical filter, a multi-arpeggiator, a melodic sequencer, and an expanded effects section with 18 effects including a new Trance Gate.^[4]

The filter on Arturia’s spec list is the original multimode: low-pass, band-pass, high-pass at 12 dB and 24 dB slopes. Polyphony is 16 voices. The factory library is 240+ presets. Formats on the same page: standalone, VST, AAX, Audio Unit, NKS; Windows 10+ (64-bit, no ARM) and macOS 11+.^[3]

Trance Gate is the dance-floor extra, not a hidden Pigments macro. Arturia: chop, shape, and sequence up to 32 steps, five envelope shapes, real-time pattern rotation, 12 presets; combine with the multi-arp. The five shapes on the product page are Classic, Triangle, Decay, Rise, and Trapeze.^[3] The Advanced Panel stacks up to four independent arpeggiator layers and a piano-roll sequencer with up to 64 steps. That is the 2025 plugin’s modern half. It is not Roland’s 1996 panel cloned 1:1 without extras.

Why the Plugin Is Still Searched in 2026

MusicTech dates the hardware JP-8000 to 1996 and frames Jup-8000 V as the analogue-modelling clone that popularised the stacked-saw lead.^[4] Arturia’s own copy: mid-to-late 1990s trance and progressive needed a sound that would cut a crowded mix; the original supersaw stacked multiple sawtooth waves for shimmering leads and pads, then leaked into hardstyle, eurodance, and hyperpop.^[3] CDM’s 24 April 2025 hands-on: the JP-8000 popularised the supersaw, and Arturia’s treatment adds effects, modulation, a multi-arp, a melodic sequencer, and seven engines—plus modelled envelopes, X-Mod, tone control, and filters. Peter Kirn’s verdict is blunt: you will love or hate the JP, but if you are ready to trance out, the advanced screen is the point.^[7]

That is why the search query did not die in 2025. A Serum unison stack can fake a supersaw. Pigments can too. Jup-8000 V is the dedicated JP-8000 voice plus a trance gate you drop on a static chord. CDM also notes it is a contrast to the rest of V Collection (mostly 70s/80s), which is the buying reason if you already own Pigments and still want that late-90s VA edge.^[7]

Do not treat this page as mix school. Detune and Mix on the supersaw, Trance Gate shape, and a JUN-6-style chorus from the 18-engine rack are the documented starting moves. Arturia’s FAQ (when it loads) even lists a one-click supersaw preset path and a Trance Gate drop-in: shape, pattern, dry/wet, rate. Confirm the live support article for your build.

Not Pigments. Not Jup-8 V. Not Roland Cloud.

Not Pigments. Pigments is Arturia’s original multi-engine synth. Jup-8000 V is a JP-8000 reproduction in V Collection 11 Pro. CDM even says you could recreate a lot of Pure LoFi-style work in Pigments; that aside does not make Jup-8000 V a Pigments skin.^[7] Use the related Pigments 6 article for that SKU.

Not Jup-8 V. Arturia’s Jupiter-8 model is a different instrument in the same collection. KVR’s 11 Pro list includes both Jup-8 V and Jup-8000 V. Mixing the two names is how people buy the wrong decade.^[1]

Not Roland Cloud, and not a hardware JP-8000. CDM noted it might have been expected on Roland Cloud first; it landed in V Collection instead.^[7] This page does not compare circuit-level authenticity against a calibrated JP-8000 on a bench. It cites Arturia’s modelling claims and the 24 April 2025 press. For a free wavetable alternative, use Vital. For FX around the lead, use the related FX Collection page—not this synth as a mixer.

Load the Supersaw Once. Gate It. Mix It Elsewhere.

This checklist is the Jup-8000 V insert, not a trance arrangement course. Confirm the live Arturia overview and your ASC build before you lock a session template.^[3]

1. Confirm Pro vs Intro vs solo $149
   If you hold V Collection 11 Pro, Jup-8000 V is in the set on the 24 April 2025 posts. Intro does not include it on Arturia’s FAQ. Buying solo: cite the live $149 Arturia Buy Now control, not a random reseller.^[1][5][3]
2. Start from Osc 1 Supersaw, not a random init
   Arturia: Osc 1 is the main event with seven waveforms including Supersaw. Detune and Mix set the stack. Osc 2 is the simple Pulse/Saw/Triangle layer with sync and PWM.^[3]
3. Drop Trance Gate on a static chord or lead
   Up to 32 steps, five envelope shapes (Classic, Triangle, Decay, Rise, Trapeze), 12 presets, then Rate and dry/wet. Pair with the four-layer multi-arp if you want motion without drawing every 16th in the DAW.^[3]
4. Use the 18-engine FX rack; do not stack a second synth to ‘get width’ first
   Arturia names Trance Gate, Super Unison, multiband compressor, JUN-6 Chorus, delay, and phaser among the 18 types in four slots. Width and chop live here before you open Serum.^[3][4]
5. Do not treat this page as the mix
   Once the lead is gated, arrangement and bus processing live in your DAW. This file stops at the 2025 Jup-8000 V delta still sold in 2026.
