Okay, I've waited for years hoping that one day the update would come... the attention to detail from Arturia is amazing, such great products and the additional features that make the old classics fit right in to the new world of music.
Love these Guys!
But... how could the most basic feature that the original Jupiter 8 had (solo Legato) get missed for all these years? The JP-8 defaulted to this when in solo mode. All the Jupiter 8v's retrigger every other note in "Solo Mode"... not every note, but every 2nd note... not musical at all I almost have to say near useless.
In a perfect world Legato would default in solo and Unison mode on the 8v's and a retrigger option for every note, not every 2nd note, in both modes.
I never see anyone on the net ever post this so it must not be very important to anyone but me.
Having said all that I have to say that the new V's are incredible with the new browsers and resizable GUI's Great Job Arturia!

I have been around a real Jupiter 8 a long time ago. I can't remember about the legato.
But Jupiter 8 owners manual don't mention anything about legato. The manual say this about Solo mode: "This Mode allows solo playing using special solo synthesizer tecniques such as holding one key while alternating another to get tight fast trills."
This perhaps suggest that Solo mode was not legato without retrigger - but with retrigger.
However, then a option in JUP-8 for legato without retrigger would be nice.
The manual say this about Unison Mode: " Unison Mode assigns the maximum number of synthesizers available to each key played. All 8 synthesizers will be assigned to any one key pressed, dividing to four each for two keys, and so on until eight notes are played with one synthesizer each."
So this also suggest there is no legato without retrigger for this mode. In fact i would say it have to be retrigger.
However an option in JUP-8 to play UNISON like mono and then also an option to play it legato without retrigger would be very velcome too.
Are you certain about the legato was a basic feature in the real Jupiter 8. Can you tell where i can see/ read it?
EDIT: You are right there are something going on in UNISON mode that's wrong. It's random. Sometimes UNISON mode turn of, and sometimes a second played note kills a previous note that's held down. This to me is a bug. EDIT end.
