Sandwiched between the earlier Jupiter-4 and Jupiter-8 models in name only, the sophisticated Jupiter-6 has sometimes been considered a sleeper release. These days, it has persevered to become one of Roland's most notable and coveted classic synthesizers due to its distinctive dark and complex character.

Though similar in appearance and feature set, the Jupiter-6 sounded considerably different from the Jupiter-8. The Jupiter-6's versatile filter design lent a more aggressive sound than previous Jupiters, making it a natural for cutting-edge techno and electro styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Jupiter-6 VCOs supported multiple simultaneous waveforms, and its two LFOs and oscillator cross mod \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecapabilities provided extensive modulation possibilities. Its earthshaking solo and poly unison modes enabled massive lead and bass sounds, and it was one of the first synthesizers to include the then-new MIDI protocol. However, the cost-cutting in the Jupiter-6 design resulted in some disadvantages. Audio output was mono only, and it was limited to six-voice polyphony, hampering the potential of its split keyboard feature. And its timing was ill-fated with the release of Yamaha's revolutionary DX7 the same year. But in a testament to the Jupiter-6's staying power over the decades, its popularity grew in genres such as big beat, house, and techno. As a result, the original hardware is still in demand today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Cherry Audio Mercury-6 UI\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrrshop.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/m\/e\/mercury-6-background.jpg\" width=\"690\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"p1\"\u003eMercury-6: Twice As Nice at a Fraction of the Price\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Audio's Mercury-6 captures all that is exceptional in this classic and boosts the extraordinary feature set and functionality for today's DAW production and workflow. We've added velocity sensitivity, improved the split mode, and added a layer mode capable of stacking two different sounds simultaneously with per-layer stereo panning, detuning, and sustain. A panel control lets users easily select and navigate between these layers and includes a utility function for exchanging settings between the lower and upper layers, or even between presets. And with polyphony extended to 16 notes, Mercury-6 won't easily run out of voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've reproduced the arpeggiator, including the hidden Up\/Down modes of the original, and augmented it by adding a Random mode and MIDI tempo sync. A chord memory mode enables multiple notes to be stored and played back with a single key. We've improved the functionality of the LFOs with a retrigger for LFO-1 and an always-on option for LFO-2, both syncable to MIDI tempo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've also introduced an integrated studio-quality effects panel with brilliant-sounding distortion, phaser, flanger\/chorus, delay, and reverb.

By \"voice-assign polyphony,” we're referring to instruments with a finite number of independent synthesizer voices (four, in this case) that digitally scan the keyboard and assign notes to onboard voices. These days, voice-assign polyphony and digital patch storage are taken for granted, but this was a HUGE deal in the late 70s when options for polyphonic synthesis were mostly limited to crude string synthesizers based upon 60s organ technology, and patch recall was generally limited to how fast you could twirl knobs and flick switches!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn its day, the Jupiter-4 was overshadowed by larger, more complex (and far more expensive) instruments from American synth manufacturers, and on paper, its specs weren’t as impressive. But specs don't tell the whole story, because the Jupiter-4 sounds fantastic, with a raw, raunchy tone not found in any of the other beloved Juno and Jupiter synths. Its analog oscillators have a uniquely aggressive tone quality, the built-in sub oscillator adds girth, its oddly fast and deep LFO modulation capabilities allow it to create uniquely whacked out modular synth-like tones, and Roland's famous stereo chorus \"ensemble\" circuit is beautifully implemented, adding a boatload of width and dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrrshop.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/c\/h\/cherryaudiomercury4_2.jpg\" width=\"690\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original instrument had its share of caveats, including a meager eight user patch locations, no edit mode for stored patches, just four voices of polyphony, it weighed a ton (a portly 42 lb!), and the lack of oscillator autotune meant a cold breeze could send it careening out of tune. Cherry Audio's Mercury-4 addresses every one of these issues, with up to 16-voice polyphony, infinite patch storage, easy patch editing, and much more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn addition to recreating the Jupiter-4's uniquely powerful oscillator and filter tonality, Mercury-4 beautifully replicates Roland’s renowned stereo ensemble effect. We’ve also added a truly other-worldly \"Space Echo\"-style tape echo with multiple reverb modes. The tape echo perfectly recreates the warm tonality and subtle speed variations that make the original Space Echo units so desirable, and the reverb section expands upon the original spring reverb with plate and hall modes for enhanced spatial depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrrshop.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/c\/h\/cherryaudiomercury4_3.jpg\" width=\"690\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentically modeled oscillator with sub oscillator\u003cbr\u003eAll filter characteristics modeled, including powerful low-frequency resonance\u003cbr\u003eUp to 16-voice polyphony\u003cbr\u003eOver 300 presets, programmed by industry veterans\u003cbr\u003eExactingly replicated unique arpeggio section w\/tempo sync\u003cbr\u003eCarefully modeled wide-range LFO modulation with \"inverted\" mod characteristics\u003cbr\u003eDrift control for increased analog realism\u003cbr\u003ePrecisely replicated stereo ensemble effect\u003cbr\u003eWarm and organic tape echo with multiple reverb modes\u003cbr\u003eTempo-syncable LFO\u003cbr\u003eDetunable unison mode\u003cbr\u003eSingle-key chord memory mode\u003cbr\u003eHighly optimized coding for high performance with ultra-low CPU load\u003cbr\u003eAdvanced one-click UI magnification\u003cbr\u003eComprehensive MPE support\u003cbr\u003eFull MIDI control and DAW automation for all controls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eSystem Requirements\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMercury-4 is available in AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emacOS Requirements: macOS 10.9 or above (including macOS 12), 64-bit required.
