All about the Roland Jupiter-series

Hi,

I have seen the Huey Lewis music video, "I Want a New Drug". I have
seen that a Roland Jupiter-8 was used. I am now supposing that the
answers to my unanswered questions on this site about "Is there
Something I Sould Know" by Duran Duran and "Human Touch" by Rick
Springfield, which had similar stabs to this song, was probably a yes--
it was probably done on a Jupiter-8.

Are these stabs user-made, or are they factory sounds? Can these sounds
be made on either the MKS-80 and MPG-80 or the JP-8000 and/or JP-8000?
Can anyone show me pictures of the Jupiter-8 with all of the analog
controls set to these stabs and send me as many different audio sample
of that sound as possible. I really wanted to know because I wanted a
sound like that in my 80's tribute band.

Please help me with tips ASAP.

Sample CD's...

I was talking about the stabs heard in the Huey Lewis and the News
song, "I Want a New Drug". I have seen a Jupiter-8 being used in the
video. I hope there was no pretend play there (I hope it was really
done on a jupiter-8, and not a rival, like a Prophet-5 or an OB-Xa).
The sound sounds very similar to the stabs heard in Duran Duran's "Is
There Something I Should Know" and Rick Springfield's "Human Touch",
but those two sound much mellower and airier than the "New Drug"
stabs. All I can tell you is all three stabs mentioned sounds similar
to the Casiotone MT-220/205 synth sound-but sounds better than a
Casio. I have heard that the JP-4, JP-6, and JP-8 are have different
circuitry from each other, I don't know why, but they do. I have the
extended remix of "Human Touch" by Rick Springfield, which starts with
the verse, but there is nothing but synths and acoustic guitar. I can
e-mail that 60-second wav file to you as soon as possible if that's okay.
