Roland free patches

This is more than simply saying the two sounds are not identical - personally, I hear how they've tried to re-create the same feel, and it simply doesn't work. While a few of the comparisons are spot on, many are not, and I distinctly hear the difference between the true analog synthesizer and its digital re-creation. That being said, about all this video did was to convince me I really want to have a Jupiter-8 someday. I know from personal experience how challenging it can be to try and create virtually identical patches on two different instruments. I can't speak for the other videos, but I just spent five minutes watching the Jupiter-8 comparison video. They have even gone so far as to release comparison videos, that compare, for example, sound for sound, an original Jupiter-8 sound with the corresponding patch on the Jupiter-80. So Roland has unveiled a bunch of free sounds for the Jupiter-80 and Jupiter-50 synths that are meant to emulate their classic instruments.
