Mercury-4 is a detailed emulation of one of the best-sounding and quirkiest polyphonic synthesizers of the late 1970's, the Roland Jupiter-4.
It’s the rarest and most sonically unique of the fabled Jupiter series, and we’ve gone to great lengths to recreate the subtle (and not-so-subtle) nuances and character of this beloved classic.
Every aspect of Mercury-4 has been expertly modeled upon a vintage Jupiter-4 originally owned by Greg Hawkes of the legendary 80’s new wave band The Cars,
and played on their double-platinum 1981 album Shake It Up. In Greg’s words, Mercury-4 “sounds just like my old Jupiter! It’s nice to have it back.”​

Mercury-4 是对20世纪70年代末最好的、最古怪的复调合成器之一:Roland Jupiter-4 的精准复刻。
这是传奇的 Jupiter 系列中最罕见、最独特的一个型号,我们花了很大力气来重现这台备受喜爱的经典作品中微妙(和不那么微妙)的细节差异和音色。
Mercury-4 的每一个方面都熟练地模拟了一台原始的 Jupiter-4 硬件,
由传奇的80年代 New Wave 乐队 The Cars 的 Greg Hawkes 所拥有,并在1981年的双白金专辑 Shake It Up 中使用。
用 Greg Hawkes 的话说,Mercury-4 “听起来就像我的老Jupiter-4!能把它拿回来真是太好了!”
The Jupiter-4 had its share of disadvantages, including limited patch storage, just four voices of polyphony,
and boat-anchor weight. Cherry Audio’s Mercury-4 improves upon the original’s design by offering 16-voice polyphony, infinite patch storage, velocity sensitivity, MPE support, and much more.
We’ve even paired it with a fantastic model of the classic Roland Space Echo tape delay.​

Jupiter-4 也有它的缺点,包括有限的预置存储,只有四个复音,以及巨沉的重量。
Cherry Audio 的 Mercury-4 改进了原来的设计,提供16复音,无限预置存储,力度敏感性,MPE支持,等等。
我们甚至给它配上了经典的 Roland Space Echo 回声磁带延迟效果器的美妙建模。

Originally released in 1978, the Roland Jupiter-4 synthesizer was one of the earliest instruments to combine voice-assign polyphony with digital patch storage,
that is, the ability to store and recall sounds to a digital memory and recall them at the touch of a button.​

Roland Jupiter-4合成器最初发布于1978年,是最早将复音分配与数字参数存储相结合的乐器之一,
数字模块存储是指将声音存储到数字存储器中,并通过触摸按钮来召回它们的功能。
The Jupiter-4 rapidly became the go-to polysynth for numerous English and European acts in the 80's including Duran Duran, Thomas Dolby,
The Human League, Simple Minds, and more, and for good reason: the Jupiter-4 sounded 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.​

在80年代,Jupiter-4迅速成为许多英国和欧洲人的首选合成器,包括 Duran Duran 、Thomas Dolby、Human League、Simple Minds 等等,
这是有充分理由的:因为Jupiter-4听起来很棒,有一种原始、本性的音色,在任何其他受人喜爱的Juno和Jupiter合成器中都找不到。
它的模拟振荡器具有独特的攻击性音质,内置子振荡器强化了波形周期变化,具有快速和深度的LFO调制能力使其能够创建独特的瞬态模块化合成音色,
而Roland著名的立体声合唱“Ensemble”电路得到了精确的复现,并增大了宽度和维度。
Mercury-4 lovingly recreates Jupiter-4's bold and unusual analog oscillators, powerful dual filters, and easily overdriveable VCA section.
We went to great lengths to perfectly replicate the unique arpeggiator section, heard on tons of classic new wave tracks, as well as the original's two massive unison modes.
We've added a Drift knob to dial in just the right amount of vintage character.
The renowned stereo BBD ensemble effect has been beautifully modeled, and 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.​

Mercury-4 忠实地再现了 Jupiter-4 开创性而又不同寻常的模拟振荡器,强大的双滤波器,以及轻松控制的VCA结构。
我们不遗余力地复刻了独特的琶音器部分,在数以万计的经典 New Wave 曲目中听到,以及原版的两个强大的同音模式。
我们增加了一个 Drift 旋钮,可以将声音变得复古和老旧。
著名的立体声BBD合奏效果经过了精美的建模,我们还添加了一个真正不凡的“Space Echo”风格的磁带回声,具有多种混响模式。
磁带回声轻松地再现了温暖的音色和微妙的力度变化,让你感觉到原始的 Space Echo 设备如此令人向往。
