An ergonomic layout with a large selection of knobs and sliders let you control and easily edit your sounds, whether you’re producing in the studio or performing on stage. Its all-metal build uses premium materials throughout, and the all-new aftertouch-enabled keyboard is the best we’ve ever made. The JUPITER-X is the peak of Roland synthesizer sound quality and design. Roland synthesizers with the JUPITER name carry our most advanced sound technologies, are supremely playable, and are built from premium materials. In 2011, three decades after the release of the original JUPITER series, Roland released the fully digital JUPITER-80 and JUPITER-50 synthesizers as successors to the 1980s originals. Two years after the release of the JUPITER-8, Roland released the more affordable JUPITER-6 synthesizer with built-in MIDI control. The instrument had many advanced features for its time, including the ability to split the keyboard into two zones, with separate patches active on each zone.

It featured a fat resonant low-pass filter, along with an optional high-pass filter and an array of envelope and LFO modulation options. The JUPITER-8 features eight voices with two oscillators per voice, which combined with Roland’s classic chorus effects made for incredibly wide, thick sounds. The JUPITER-8 was Roland’s flagship synthesizer for the first half of the 1980s and is heralded as one of the greatest analog synths of all time!


Since the release of the JUPITER-4 in 1978, the name JUPITER has marked the pinnacle of Roland sound and playability.
