The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.


iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration


iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home


iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.


iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.


iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).


The Original Jupiter Synthesizer, Reborn

The Jupiter-4 software synthesizer is an authentic recreation of the first synthesizer to carry the iconic Jupiter name.

Introduced in 1978, the Jupiter-4 kicked off the storied legacy of Roland analog polysynths and sounds exactly like you'd expect - warm, fat, and evocative of synth pop, new wave, and other emerging styles of the era.

Now you can have this analog classic in your own productions and performances, complete with modern enhancements that take its creative capabilities further than ever.


A New Wave

Roland's first polyphonic analog synthesizer launched the Jupiter legacy of best-in-class sound and cutting-edge innovation.

Along with its incredible synthesis power, the Jupiter-4 brought digital voltage control and the ability to store eight user presets with new technological wizardry dubbed "Compuphonic".

But the real magic was in grabbing the panel controls and designing big, beautiful tones, which led synth pioneers to create timeless tracks that continue to influence musicians today.



Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB)

Roland used their proprietary circuit modeling technology to bring the Jupiter-4 to life in your DAW or System-8.

The ACB process involves carefully analyzing original hardware units, circuit diagrams, and other historical data.

We then use this information to recreate the authentic circuit behaviors of the vintage instrument, including all the beloved quirks and instabilities.

This is what gives the Jupiter-4 software synthesizer its breathtakingly lifelike sound that buzzes with unique character.


Sound the Size of a Planet

While the Jupiter-4 only has a single VCO, it sounds positively massive.

The combined characteristics of its oscillator, filter, LFO section, and other components make it sound thick and warm.

And its built-in ensemble chorus pours on a helping of lusciousness that takes it to a new level.

This is where ACB really shines, giving us the ability to capture the behavior and interaction of all the components working together to create sonic magic.


Supersonic, Compuphonic

During the development of the Jupiter-4 plug-in, we found areas to improve the original hardware while keeping the authentic experience intact.

So we've imbued this new version with enhancements that take its sonic powers to another level, including extended oscillator range, adjustable noise, velocity sensitivity, sub-oscillator volume control, and a flexible arpeggiator.

And in addition to perfectly modeling the Jupiter-4's lush Ensemble chorus, we've added a slew of new effects, including phaser, flanger, overdrive, reverb, and delay.


Adjust To Taste

Vintage synths like the Jupiter-4 had internal trim controls that allowed technicians to tweak various analog components when they drifted out of spec.

But sometimes, "out of spec" created a sound that was unique, interesting, or extraordinary.

Realized through our latest ACB advancements, the new Circuit Mod function lets you sweep through multiple trims using a single macro control.

Along with the Condition parameter, which simulates the effects of aging, you can dial in everything from a factory-primed Jupiter-4 to a road-worn synth that hasn't seen a tech bench in decades.


Feel Free To Browse

The sophisticated browser lets you explore the Jupiter-4's stunning collection of factory presets, your own custom sounds, and patches downloaded from Roland Cloud.

Search across all installed patch banks, sort results, rate your favorites, jot down notes, and make quick adjustments with the integrated tweak panel.


Modern Living

While the Jupiter-4 carefully models an instrument from the past, the implementation here is thoroughly modern.

The LFO, arpeggiator, and effects conveniently sync to tempo for carefree creative sessions.

And it fits perfectly into your production environment with a resizable high-definition UI, support for VST3, AAX, and AU formats, and Apple silicon compatibility.


Turn Your System-8 Into An Eight-Voice Jupiter-4

The Jupiter-4 software synthesizer offers full integration with the System-8 keyboard.

You can change the Jupiter-4's plug-in panel to match the System-8 for intuitive, one-to-one control.

Or use the Plug-Out functionality to turn your System-8 into a standalone, eight-voice Jupiter-4 that you can play in the studio or on stage.
