Modular Samples have released a free sample library containing 1.5 GB of Roland Jupiter 4 sounds. The library includes WAV samples, as well as EXS24, Kontakt and Reason NN-XT patches.
This pack is actually part 2 of the Modular Samples Roland Jupiter 4 collection. Get the first part here.
On the surface, it seems like a pretty simple synthesizer, with just one oscillator, one LFO and 2 envelopes, however, in this case the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. The Jupiter 4 has a massive tonal range all considered.
Not a lot of Jupiter 4 samples yet as it’s hard to sample with out midi or cv/gate control (I use Autosampler to cheat at making samples. You too could have a cool samples website, check it out http://www.redmatica.com). Still, I reckon you’ll find something useful here.
Btw, make sure you check out the whole Modular Samples website since it is a true goldmine of free vintage synthesizer samples. It’s a rather new resource (seems like the website was launched in November 2010) and I haven’t seen it mentioned a lot around the web. Let’s hope they don’t get bandwidth problems when the bpb crew starts downloading. ^^
Two commercial sample collections are available for purchase on this page. All free samples by Modular Samples are released as Public Domain, without any usage restrictions.

Don’t worry about the bandwidth, I chose my current web hosting because they offer unlimited storage/bandwidth. Let’s hope they really mean it!
All the best
