8000 Classic by Vicious Antelope is a free bank of ten polysynth presets for Arturia Jup-8000 V. The patches focus on the bright, wide electronic character associated with classic trance and EDM, and an Analog Lab V edition is also provided for compatible users.
Ten Classic Electronic Polysynths
The bank is deliberately compact and stylistically focused. Expect sounds suited to chord stacks, trance progressions, melodic hooks and wide electronic layers rather than experimental effects or cinematic drones.
Jup-8000 V and Analog Lab V
Vicious Antelope supplies the sounds for Arturia Jup-8000 V and states that an Analog Lab V version is available as well. This makes the free bank useful even for producers who primarily browse Arturia sounds through Analog Lab.
- 10 free presets
- Classic EDM polysynth focus
- Arturia Jup-8000 V format
- Analog Lab V edition available

Where These Presets Work Best
Use them for trance chords, progressive house layers, synthwave-inspired stacks or any production where a wide, polished polysynth needs to fill the midrange without becoming a lead sound.
Official Video Demo
The embedded video comes directly from Vicious Antelope and demonstrates the 8000 Classic bank on Arturia’s Jup-8000 V.
Requirements
The developer lists Jup-8000 V 1.0.0.6114 or newer, with Analog Lab V 5.11.2.6235 or newer for the Analog Lab edition. Update Arturia Software Center if the presets do not appear.
Classic Without Being Locked to One Genre
Although the pack is marketed around classic electronic dance sounds, polysynth patches are flexible by nature. Shorten envelopes for plucks, darken filters for pads or layer them quietly underneath modern leads.
