Past, Present, and Future Sound
The JUPITER-80 nods to its past with lethal, multi-layered SuperNATURAL┬« synthesizer tones so fat youΓÇÔll need a knife to cut through it, but thatΓÇÔs only the beginning of what this powerhouse synth will do. Gigging musicians will love the stockpile of essential sounds onboard, including RolandΓÇÔs famous SuperNATURAL grand pianos, strings, brass, and much more. The JUPITER-80 puts a fast-access user interface under your fingersΓÇËa dream for live performance. Its heavyweight design, complete with metal side panels, recalls the legendary JUPITER but with a modern twist.
Tone Blender
You will love the deep possibilities of the stackable SuperNATURAL architecture and unique features such as Tone Blender, which tweaks values of multiple parameters simultaneously and lets you ΓÇ£CaptureΓÇÙ any new combination and save it as a Live Set. Create complex, emotional textures that respond, react, and evolve like nothing youΓÇÔve heard before. Tone Blender can also dramatically enhance your live-performance capabilities by letting you assign its multiple parameters to controllers such as the D Beam.
Powerful Live Sets Featuring Four-Tone Structure and Registrations
JUPITER-80ΓÇÔs sound engine handles four x tones with dedicated DSP per tone as a basic unit ΓÇ£Live SetΓÇÙ for manual performance. Layering of Upper and Lower Live Sets, plus a specialized ΓÇ£SOLOΓÇÙ part, means the incredibly massive nine-tone-stack sound. Customized complex settings can be saved as Registrations, and easily recalled during live performance.
