Step back in time to the iconic sounds of the 80s, reimagined for today's music production studio, with Jura – the classic synth with the features of tomorrow. Born in 1982, this Japanese legend defined an era, gracing countless hits by artists like The Eurythmics, Cyndi Lauper, and Aha. Today, its magic continues, finding its way into tracks by contemporary acts such as Charlie Puth, Tame Impala, and The Weeknd.

We're bringing you something truly special: the authentic sound of that 80s synth. But that's just the start. We wanted to build on the legend and make it fit for modern music production workflows. For those with qualified AKAI MPC/FORCE standalone versions, you get complete touch control of every parameter, allowing you to really get your hands on this vintage classic and craft your future hits.

As Stephen Gallagher, an award-winning composer who has worked with Peter Jackson, Brian Eno, and Ed Sheeran, puts it: "JURA shows that it is absolutely possible to improve on a classic. Your favourite 20th century synthesiser has been elegantly reimagined as a beautiful, inspirational software instrument for the 21st century."

TAKE ON ME: ANALOGUE GOODNESS & MODERN FEATURES

Of course, you get all the analogue goodness of the original. Our team of audio wizards meticulously crafted the sound, ensuring it includes the single DCO, a monster sub oscillator, the unparalleled VCF, and if you want it, lashings of THAT iconic chorus!

We've offered two distinct workflows: the original front panel design for a nostalgic experience, plus an extended, modern UI that gives you even more ways to tweak the sound. There are some audio extras under the hood too! The VCF includes saturation and drive, and there are also two DCO noise types: modern and vintage. Plus, you'll find a second envelope, not present on the original, to help you further craft the perfect sound.
