In 1982, a game - changing synth emerged from Japan, shaping the '80s sound and gracing countless hits by artists like The Eurythmics, Cyndi Lauper, and Aha. Today, it's still a favorite, used by Charlie Puth, Tame Impala, and the Weeknd. Now, we present AIR Jura, a meticulous recreation of that iconic '80s synth sound. But we didn't stop there. We've enhanced it for modern music production. If you own a qualified AKAI MPC/FORCE standalone version, you get full touch - control of every parameter, allowing you to shape future hits with this vintage classic. AIR Jura retains all the analog charm of the original, with a single DCO, a powerful sub - oscillator, an unmatched VCF, and a lush chorus. We offer two workflows: the classic front - panel design and an extended modern UI for more sound - tweaking options. Under the hood, there are audio extras like VCF saturation and drive, two DCO noise types (modern and vintage), a second envelope for better sound - crafting, and a powerful delay, reverb, and EQ circuit. In a nutshell, AIR Jura combines the classic '80s synth sound with modern workflow enhancements, making it a must - have for modern music production studios. When you purchase this plugin, you can unlock it in your AKAI Professional MPC / FORCE Standalone hardware and your favorite DAW, and move productions seamlessly between them. Compatible MPC hardware includes MPC One, MPC One+, MPC Live, MPC Live 2, MPC X, MPC X SE, MPC Key 37, MPC Key 61, and FORCE.
Using AIR Jura is a breeze. First, if you have a qualified AKAI MPC/FORCE standalone version, you can take advantage of the touch - control feature. Just use your fingers to adjust every parameter directly on the device. If you're using it in a DAW, it integrates smoothly. To start, open the plugin in your DAW or unlock it on your AKAI hardware. Then, explore the two different workflows. The original front - panel design gives you a classic feel, while the modern UI offers more in - depth sound - tweaking options. When it comes to creating sounds, play around with the single DCO, sub - oscillator, VCF, chorus, delay, reverb, and EQ circuit. You can also experiment with the VCF saturation and drive, and the two DCO noise types to get unique tones. The second envelope can help you fine - tune the sound even more. As for maintenance, keep your software and hardware up - to - date to ensure optimal performance. Make sure to back up your presets and projects regularly so you don't lose any of your hard - work. Also, if you encounter any issues, check the official documentation or contact customer support.
