  • The last years, yoland has produced romplers shit, nothing to do with a real Synth, until they produced the roland sh-01 gaia Synth, the rest of the last productions are waste for me, like the juno di, juno g , and all the rest.There are all romplers.

  • Once again Roland really shows it´s superior force over everyone else....

  • ME DÁ UM DE PRESENTE!!!!

  • german language sounds so nasty, and so nazi!

  • DOPE

    DOPE

    

  • DOPE!

    

  • @mrobinsonbiggiem1 yea, sounds really fun

  • muito bom

  • who the fuck would play music like that???? Roland have no idea what people want or even what people are interested in.

  • Looks like the control panel for some kind of space ship!

  • Does the Jupiter 80 has the effects of the JD-800: phaser, distortion, spectrum and enhancer? And in the manual Roland stays silent to list all the effects there are in the Jupiter 80 at the end of the manual.Probably something they forgot to mention.

  • @xgshikamaru clavia's nords are still only analogue modelling

  • @TootAzraq well, yeah, just looking at affordable options for analog synths, maybe the prophet 08 is a bit more affordable than the moog voyager, but hey, that’s still so expensive :(

  • @xGshikamaru What abut the new arturia minibrute? 100 % analog, 25 keys, and I heard its price range is $4-500 dollars. I think it sounds pretty good. It only has one oscillator though(or so I've heard).

  • @SilverfangX777 wow, awesome toy, the fact that it’s french is just icing on the cake :)

  • @xGshikamaru Can't tell if srs...But yeah it's no super powerful analog synth like the jupiter 8, or a moog, or an alesis andromeda but it's a pretty good bang for your buck at $ 500

  • @xGshikamaru google "arturia minibrute". cheap and good analog ;) announced a few weeks ago.

  • ตัวเท่าไรใครบอกหน่อย.........ก­ูอยากได้ดดดดดดดดดดดดดดดด

  • Thumbs Up if you think the Jupiter 8 is better

  • ...meanwhile the cool kids are using the SEM Pro and Perfourmer MK2.

  • I don't understand this digital vs analog bull, does analog have a super audible difference or something? Why are people saying this thing sux when it does what the jupiter is ment to do but better?. I'm guessing analog must sound Godly since all these companies are modeling them. If some one could explain to this synth noob, it'd be appreciated

  • @SilverfangX777 In a nutshell, you cant replace a woman with a barbie doll. The result is a too simple and boring thing. The analog is non linear, itt have noise like a nature have, so its organic, it dont have radical square changes it have rounds what a nature have. And digital alias (inharmonic noise). The digital stuffs need a carefull programmer. The old samplers knows the same thing what this thing know, just this is more user friendly.

  • Older times they made better sound with less computer power, because that was the strongest priority, know the features, and the eyecandy, and we think the new is always better media hypnosis, without experience. So. if you want your sound to be dirty and raw and organic, you need analog (techno, bigbeat, d@b,so on). If you work with a lot ambient and clean cinematic and orchestral sound then you need digital too.:)

  • I know what I know and what I heard with the DSS-1 and the Jupiter 80.But I heard my DSS-1 live at home and I didn't hear already the Jupiter 80 live in a music store.Peace.Greetz

  • Allright, but I said that it sounds fat your intro, no doubt. .But I hear the difference with the Project 100 and my videos are also compressed by You Tube hee.Greetz

  • When I hear the bass sound in the beginning of this video, it sounds fat but when you compare it to the bass sound of my Solton Project 100 - see my 4 videos I made recently ! - this Jupiter-80 is beaten by the Solton Project 100 which is a master in fat waves.

  • @turquoisecapricorn Please have in mind, that this video was compressed by YouTube.

  • @delamartv Well, that actually explains A LOT...I'd upload a song, and it would sound horrible to me, on here...

  • @turquoisecapricorn I don't think so.

  • in your dreams maybe

  • @turquoisecapricorn Keep in mind that you should really run youtube through other speakers rather than pc, e.g. I use in my home 5.1 Hardon Kardon, I listen to youtube through them, much better sound always.

  • @turquoisecapricorn What is a Solton Project 100, who makes it? Don't think they have that here in the U.S.

  • i prefere my Korg kronos...oooooohhhhhh yeeeeesssssssss

  • I heard "great for house" in there somewhere

  • Thumbs up if you think Roland should bring back the REAL Jupiters

  • moog are still too expensive (even with the slim phatty) and all korg make are digital synths and crappy analog ribbon thingies. arp, ems and crumar don't do anything anymore, and yamaha make toy keyboards and digital workstations. and look at roland. the jp-80 is twice the price of a jp-8 on ebay and not even half as good. where did the days of analog go? come on, get it together- nearly everybody would prefer affordable analog over expensive digital! fingers crossed for the future.............

  • @TootAzraq

    You mean Korgs Monotribe. Trust me it is not crap, Its absolutely fantastic. bought one for just playing around with but within and hour I wanted the thing integrated in to my set up it sounds so good. Check out my Korg multitracking video to see some of the potential of this machine. Its really amazing what you can do with it if you use just a little imagination. For the money its a total bargain. Pure analog circuitry and it really does sound good.

  • @TootAzraq take a look at Clavia Nord, seems like affordable analog synth of today. Perhaps not as good as a moog to my ears though

  • @xGshikamaru The Clavia Nord Lead (or others) is not analog. The Moogs are all analog, so perhaps that's why they sound better to you.

  • Looks like it's crashed out of the late seventies if it wasn't for the large display screen.

  • The only word i understood was "Ya" LOL :D

  • @chez117 I guess the sounds were easier to understand than the words? :D

  • @delamartv Lol yess! Great Demo.

  • @chez117 And it's spelt "Ja"!!! ;-)

  • @gcoudert Ahaha thank you!! :D

  • @chez117 The word was "ja" = "yes" :-p

  • i think Synth1 is better than this :)

  • sounds like casio for 100 box

  • Can I just add that if you buy a synthesizer and even WANT to use the presets, you have already failed.

  • This is £2500. The analogue DSI Prophet 08 can be bought new for as little as £999. I think the Alesis Andromeda A6 was £2500 when it first came out. How can anyone justify this softsynth in a box? I agree with digitalscreams, the fella doesn't do any synthesizing with this synthesizer.

  • jupiter 8 in a new jacket

  • geez 3000 euro

  • why do german videos have english titles

  • @EP1CSR00MAGE because it's all about the sounds and this video was the first to demo them here on youtube

  • Roland is aware that people want analog so they stole the legendary name of Jupi8 and put it on a sample player...disgusting! I don't get it, Roland was so great in the analog field so they have the knowledge...but they give us digital crap instead; I loved earlier Roland products so I'll keep my JD990.

  • Jupiter 80??? Oh dear...Roland.

  • 2xlayering4? A silent admission by Roland that they just couldn't get the true "fat" sound from a VA....

    A E3000,- disappointment. Although, I have to admit that Youtube's sound-quality isn't really helping.

  • please roland, stop this ...

    kind regards,

    mr & mrs. juno 60 & jupiter 8

  • Is this supposed to be in the same league as the Jupiter 8...? The one from 1981? (I really don't know) But if it is, it's a disgrace. Digital synths are just so weak in sound compared to the original analogue synths and this is a perfect example, this doesn't even deserve to be called Saturn 80. I expect to be blown away by a Jupiter, and this is just like all the digital midi synths, all the effects sound weak. You can't even tweak them enough to make them have that power. This is sad.

  • Dear Jupiter 80,

    Try again.

    Korg Kronos

  • Should i get this, or the Roland V-synth?

  • @bentkkkk V synth all the way!

  • Sorry Roland, but that's no Jupiter. That's one of your VIRTUAL SYNTHESIS synths. Very cool, but NOT a Jupiter. Unless you dig out your old analog ICs again, OR you create a very very VERY true (and no novelties) virtual creation, then and only then would it be cool to call something Jupiter. Like, Jupiter Redux for a digital version. Jupiter 80 just somehow deserves to be a MONSTER version of the original. TRUE to the bone, only bigger and badder. Not necessarily BROADER.

  • I agree, it's an insult to call a mostly-knobless virtual analog "Jupiter" anything. If anything I think I LOST respect for Roland over this.

    Lots of people still build op-amps, guys -- build us an analog. :)

  • @TheMindOfPat Hell, I lost respect for Roland after the V-synth XT when everything they started to pump out was just rehash after retreaded rehash. Nothing innovative. I LOVE the V-synth XT, but they're so much like Yamaha and Korg - Trinity, Triton, R3, Radias, Oasys...it all gets to be a bit 'yawnnnn' after a while. Cool here, cool there, but nothing mindblowingly innovative or like Effffff-YEAH! That's a return to the iconic BEAST! Nope...

  • What is that, a laptop screen? They should've name it Phantom-as instead of Jupiter!

    lol

  • Now to get some speakers that do this thing justice. I owned a Jupiter 8. The Manual was about 16 pages. So easy to get into. Sold it after I picked up my Ensoniq ESQ1 and finding out just how much music I was creating with those 8 tracks and a few outboard racks. Of course I needed the dough...and it wasn't midi. I spent my last days with it recording lots of crazy sounds to have. I say my Ensoniq because I still have it...It's one of the very early models...all metal case.

  • Roland keyboards... The real deal...

  • Hmmm, where are the 50+ pots for analog sound manipulation in real time...Thank God for Dave Smith and his Prophet 08; at least he got it right.

    My JD990 sound better than this virtual crap! LOL

    It would have been interesting though if Roland gave us something real analog...even Korg is testing the waters with the analog Monotron/Monotribe...

  • WOW, At $3,000.00 plus I don't think I will be getting one.

  • You can get a JP8 for 5-7 grand. I wonder in 5-years time which of the two has a better street value.

  • @Geeljasjes

    There will be no more streets in five years. Just bowling alleys.

  • No vocoder, or audio sampling capabilities. What a let down. Even a Casio beats it.

  • @MeldMagic Casio? That's a low blow.. :)

  • Now I know what the Spartans felt like when they took imperfect infants and threw them over the cliffs.

  • it's surely a good synth, but to call it "Jupiter" is hilarious. It's like Moog Music would bring out a digital workstation called Memorymoog-20. Who the hell at Roland had that idea??

  • Honestly, I thought Jupi 80 had an analog filter or something like on my Ensoniq SQ 80...it's horrible that they didn't listen to the analog-thirsty people. Even Korg Kronos failed by not having analog filters like in their Monotribe...they should have put in SOME analog filters for better sound...my Ensoniq SQ 80 blows these monsters away... :-)

  • Is this keyboard capable of what the V-Synth can do? Cause the V-Synth is one damn impressive sound generator.

  • 3:15 not flutes anymore 

  • i prefer my JP-8

  • What a steaming pile of S**t!!

  • I am boycotting all Roland products until they give me what I want. I am the customer, if I wanted acoustic sounds I would buy a fantom or Vsynth. This sucks!

  • I think it will be a very nice synthesizer (for live use). The Jupiter 8 is/was very good, but it's the past. We'll see what the 80 is really worth when the first units are in the stores, instead of bashing it before we have even touched one.

  • This is no Jupiter! This synth is an imposter!

  • This is all the analog hoes that've caused it.

  • Get kronos now? Or wait for this. This looks really expensive. more than a kronos?

  • VERY GOOOODD !!!!!! thank you Roland !!

    Voici a nouveau une bête de scène Made in Roland

    J'ADORE !! ;-)

  • How the mighty have fallen. Whilst people are screaming out for affordabl analog synths Rpland continue churning out expensive digital crap. Roland, get new management, those in charge have lost the plot.

  • @harrymerchant456 then hit them in their pocket, stop buying Roland stuff. There are quite a few analog alternatives out there: DSI, Alesis, Moog, etc.

  • @Keybern I do. The last piece of Roland kit I purchased was years ago (about ten). Its not that Im intentionally boycotting them. They just haven't made anything for years that has been worthy of my attention. What a shame they rape their heritage and call this a Jupiter. I mean its not the worst synth or anything but just a great shame the company continue their analog modelling crap. Their obsessed with modelling they very stuff they can actually make for real. Weird huh..

  • I think it would be neat if they just let us make our own sounds in terms of sine driven an internal polynomial, with respect to time of the key push.

  • I hate Elitists. Seriously, can't you people just look for the good side of stuff? I think it sounds great. If you hate it, make your own synth or somthing.

  • Comment removed

  • its making me feel sick! 

  • It doesn't even sound as good as what I can get out of my JV-1080 rackmount.

  • How is this better than the Fantom G? where are the drum pads??

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • well... it is roland ... analog is expensive to make and expensive price to sell, that's why the make this type of synth. :(

  • Analogue synthesis shouldn't try to duplicate "natural" sounding instruments. That's the whole reason it's called analogue. When I hear "analogue" I think Moog, Oberheim, Jupiter 8, Juno 60, etc. When I hear "digital" I think Korg Triton, DX7, Motif, DW8000, Synclavier, Fairlight, etc. Please Roland go back to the analogue roots...there's GOT to be a way to manufacture an analogue synth inexpensively....

  • While I appreciate the gesture, it's these plethora of digital hybrids that Roland is chunking out that continue to make people pay top dollar for the original Jupiter 8's on Ebay. And it sucks, because only 2000 were made. PLEASE ROLAND make AT LEAST a controller that LOOKS like the JP8 so that we can control the Jupiter 8V software from Arturia!!

  • yes that's rite, i agree..

  • alot of digital number crunching going on right there

  • Ohh Look! It's a Fantom X8 with a new colour scheme.....

  • @davipreece lol, good one

  • Comment removed

  • Wow - Roland has no idea what "Jupiter" means - it's just a name to exploit. Just another VA, missing the most important part of the Jupiter 8 - the analog SOUND.

  • Looks like a Roland V-synth with some "Jupiter" looking cosmetics. Way to go Roland. For $3500 (the going price for this insult to the "Jupiter" name) I can get a Dave Smith Prophet 08 AND a Moog Little Phatty! I'm not sure which market Roland is trying to cater to here, since synth players have so many choice for real analog & much better virtual analog synths elsewhere. Oh wait I already know the answer...check out the perm-mullet guys doing the roland guitar demos elsewhere on youtube...

  • You either make a REAL analogue synth and call it a Jupiter 80 or manufacture this pile of cheap looking rubbish instead. Sounds very bad to my ears and the only closeness to the ogriginal is the cosmetics on the panels. Apart from similar looks here and there this junk is no match for even the most lame monosynth where analogue is concerned. Roland has lost it...Maybe they should go back to the days of when they 'Designed The Future'.

  • Oooh another expensive junk from Roland wooo hoo!! I switched over to Yamaha. Motif XF owns!!!

  • sweet synth, stop hating

  • I don't think they should have called it a Jupiter 80. The original is an iconic synth, it's like some pub band calling themselves "The Beatles" just so that they will get noticed. I've no doubt this is a superb new synth in it's own right, but they should have given it another name, perhaps naming it after another planet, like Saturn perhaps, so it's in that vein but not quite the same. Just my thought !!!

  • @neonelectro that could have been a really good idea...

  • @neonelectro ...this is a great instrument and is NOT a Fantom X8 with a colour scheme.....i do however like your idea of calling it a SATURN 8. that would have been a much better way to market this synth without pissing off all the Zealots out there who worship at the alter of the GREAT ANALOG GOD....JUPITER. i dont understand RELIGION but reading all this negative stuff reminds me of how religion finds root....even SYNTHS have a RELIGION-DOGMA.

  • @LesFarrington Ha ha not a 80s tribute band dude.

    I own a real Jupiter 8 and many analog's.

    I am successful record producer and I am happy with my setup, if you wanna buy this thing, go for it.

    I also have many VA synths as well as digital ones too, like the D50 and M1 so I am hardly a analog raincoat dude.

    I said Phat synth bass not brass but your funny. Zealots he he. take care man!!

  • @neonelectro The saturn did exist in the 80's. Was not legendary, but still a good analog synth. I hope Roland did not catch your post, I dont want them to make a "new saturn".

  • After reading alot of different comments I can't help to think of how this discussion will be in 20-50 years when the developement has gotten even further ahead in the music evolution.At that time Roland may release the holographic Jupiter 8 million zillions, and people would say that it was better with the Jupiter 80 and the V-synth. I wonder if people will ever be able to accept new things. or stick will they stick with 'the old one is the best' line.

  • @DJKickstarter it just depends when the new stuff is finally as good as the old stuff. There is some good new things out there, but there is alot of crap coming out from the major manufacturers still. The old stuff was built ALOT better than some of this new stuff. Something New that is actually cool imo is The DSI Tempest, its the best of both worlds i believe.

  • I agree this is crap...I dont like what Roland is doing re-using names for synths that are nothing like the originals...build another analog synth for god's sake...DSI and many others are still doing it. From my experience, Roland is terrible at virtualizing analog so maybe they should stick with what they are good at

  • @ruiner54 The guys over at Roland told us that this was the first synth they were comfortable to call "Jupiter" again. They feel, that this will be it.

  • @delamartv I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I was referring to Roland's use of names derived from classic analog synths: juno 60, 106 etc. and now the juno-d, juno-g; the sh-101 and now the sh-201 and finally the original jupiter line and now this. My point is that they are just releasing digital synths with sampling and 'analog modeling'. My first true synth was the sh-201 and I was terribly disappointed....The Gaia is another example. Why dont Roland make analog again like DSI?

  • @ruiner54 ah, okay, now I get it. Well, I think building analogue might be a lot more expensive than digital. Someone said it before here...in 20 years we might be looking back to this and call it a classic and wonder why they build that new things :)

  • That dude looks like the dude from "Desperate housewives" Carlos Solis

  • Eveyone keeps talking how today a replica of Jupiter 8 would be north of $10K.. Let me tell you from experience. In 80's a transistor was a dollar, today we stuff millions of them on a chip and sell them for 30 bucks or less. Components are cheaper wether they are active or passive, they cost much less than in 80's so the argument of what would it cost today and no one would buy it are misguided. If one wanted an exact copy of Jupiter 8 today in parts $400 plus chassis.

  • I wished my Juno-6 could do a supernatural flute like that!

  • I think it's a cheap way to sell a not so unique synth as is the JP4 & JP8. I will never sell my JP4 not for 8 of these! For what they're charging for one of these you could buy a REAL Jupiter 8 & have change! Buy an XP-50 for those pipe organs & other bread & butter sounds (£250 or less) This is a big flop if you ask me.

  • eigendlich doch eher peinlich für roland was die da als jupiter verkaufen wolle. oder ? das einzige jupiter mäßige was mich an einen jupiter denken läßt ist das aussehen...schade roland, den noch gute demo..danke

  • I have a V-Synth GT

    I may recall the hype in authentic acoustic instrumentation sounds

    I'll stick to what i have till a "Genuine" Analog / digital controls hit the market

    I'm hoping Roland engineers an "Authentic" Analog upgrade of the JUPITER!

  • @adrianh63 I hadn't too much time to play with the Roland Jupiter 80, but I think the sounds will be fine. This synth looks promising to me and we'll see what it really has to offer when it is ready to ship. This one wasn't ready yet.

  • Roland just needs to re evaluate the direction its headed in. Ok fine, have a couple of flagship workstation....but please dont make 101 different versions of the same thing. Im sorry but most of us dont see the differences between the products anymore. Ambiguity puts people off, gives them too much to think about - you cant be impulsive if you've got 101 different options.

    Analog is simple, it does what it says on the tin. Its easy to dinstinguish against digital products. End of story.

  • Waste of time buying this.

  • At the very least why can't it have a virtual analog Jupiter-8 engine/mode - kinda like an Arturia Jupiter-8V soft synth. I know it's NOT a jupiter-8...but c'mon it's $3,500 give us something different roland!!!

  • A+ it looks great, just like a 2nd gen Jupiter should look like. But wheres the synthesizer capabilities??? Show off the virtual analog engine (if it really exists), FM synthesis or something. I understand Roland not wanting to go with a true analog synth, it's 2011 not 1981. But c'mon Piano, guitar, etc sounds should not be on a Jupiter!!!

  • danke..!

  • I've been a big Roland fan for years.., but wow! What the hell is Roland thinking! Why did they take this direction with something as iconic as the Jupiter line.?.? This synth should be 100% analogue! The demand for analogue synths is growing fast these days. It's clear the need for them is there. Roland could make a freakin killing in the analogue market if they produce a full analogue Jupiter 80.

  • @squeakD You have completely misunderstood Roland's goals for the original Jupiter and the latest model. It was NOT to create a super analog synth. They wanted to recreate acoustic sounds. The market for analog is not growing. It has been dying for years as observed by the NUMEROUS times analog synths are quickly resold. The most successful synth makers know this and refuse to fall into bankruptcy like so many others have done over the years due to their narrow focus on analog.

  • @TomZentra On the other hand, how do you explain the fact that moog had produced the minimoog for nearly 30 years and has recently issued the minimoog voyager XL. not to mention the second generation of the little phatty? According to your assessment Dave Smith Instruments would have ceased to exist by now. There is still a market for old school analogue synths.

  • @dudewhosaysarrh Roland will never produce a Jupiter 8 clone, as explained in current videos on youtube. Moog Music and DSI began to release next generation analog synth years ago. Moog released the Voyager when interest in analog was high. Any retailer will tell you that interest in the Voyager is dead. Hence the release of the Phatty and the limited production of the XL, which is destined to be a sales flop. Not to mention the end of the A6, whose sales had been lagging for years.

  • @TomZentra

    Reading your comments, makes me think you work for Roland. I accept I could be wrong :)

    Alesis reinvigorated the analog synth market with the A6. How many analog polysynths do you know of that were produced for 10 years? Can you think of any Roland products with a 10 yr production run? The A6 was ultimately discontinued because certain key parts became impossible to manufacture and they also had an issue in European Union lead compliance regulation.

  • @DIGITALSCREAMS

    Thanks to Alesis we now see Moog, DSI, Tom Oberheim + many other smaller synth manufactures making great sounding analog gear. Why do you think Korg are getting back in on the act? They see a market outthere, they see an opportunity - the monotron and monotribe are market testers - you know that.

    Its quite reasonable to see Moog diversify into a range of products and beleive me, there are plenty of people queued up to buy their $8k poly within the next 5yrs.

  • @DIGITALSCREAMS  I never have had any affiliation with Roland or any synth company. We disagree on the A6 points. Enough said.

  • @TomZentra

    What your saying doesnt make sense to me or most other JP8 users....

    The Roland engineers 'really' wanted to make the Jupiter 8 capable of realistic acoustic sounds? So thats why they equipped it with standard ADSR envelope generators, standard analog oscilator waveforms such as sawtooth, triangle and pulse. They even equipped it with 1 LFO...which was rather nice but alas it could only be routed to pitch/volume/filter.

    This is why I dont buy into the bullshit.

  • Roland just ruined the Jupiter's legacy by failing again to give us Analog!

    Roland Jupiter 8, 4, 6, MKS 80 even the JD 800.990 and JD8000>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­>>>>>>>>>This pile of shit.

  • @Guyforkz absolutely what I was thinking. I think the JD-990 was superb and was in a way a natural progression after the Jupiter range of the 80's. This was back in day when Roland were pioneers though. They have totally lost the plot with this contraption. They should call it "SuperNatural" rather than Jupiter 80.

  • Genau !! ... Ziehmlich gut !! -- JA !! Keinen kleinen Einduck !! -- PAUL -- Alles liebe aus den USA. SUPER VOLL STARK ist Jupiter 80 !! -- bitte ein video ohne woerte -- Direct connect !! Bitte dieses VIDEO.... besser machen !! Ich bin ein Besser Wisser !! Uhm... Man, you messed up the Jupiter 80 !!

  • IDIOT ?! ... The output can't come from a microphone. DUH !! dummy. -- Sounded like CRAP. I still have no idea what the true instrument sounds like through my Sennheiser headphones. I am SPEECHLESS. Duh. DUH seems to be my only word ! You will need to become more sensitive to people like me... I hear a MALL.

  • What a piece of crap. Roland are making ANOTHER workstation clone? With the JUPITER brand? What a joke. Fire their marketing people and get out in the real world.

  • romplerromplerromplerromplerro­mplerrompler

  • Poo

  • Please visit my Channel for Roland Jupiter 8 and Juno 60 demos. Then you can hear what a proper synth sounds like. Thanks.

  • Very LOL :D

  • It sure sounds "good" in a new dullish way. I would rather choose a Jupiter 8 over this one. I'm not impressed.

  • isaacrife08 don't know why you are calling people idiots.

    All most people complaining about is why Roland have bothered to make a synth and called it a Jupiter when it looks like a worksation.

    I don't know if you have ever heard or owned a Jupiter 8 dude.

    I have and I also have the Arturia Jupiter 8V which is a great plug in.

    I have no doubt the Jupiter 80 is powerful, but I don't think you seem to understand what analog is.

    So go buy this pile of do do and stop talking shit dude..

  • If you are complaining about how it is not analog then you are an Idiot... I don't want a new analog Jupiter 8 it to me would ruin the one of a kind sound that makes the Jupiter 8 better than any other synth to this day.

  • I find it hugely amusing people moaning about this not being a cheap reissue of a 30 year old synth, just because of the model-name. Same people herald Korg as geniusses over the monotribe. Roland tries to push the boundaries of what is possible with synth-technology. Korg sits on their ass and repackage some old circuitry - without MIDI, beacuse we cant have it work together with other similar gear (it might get too useful). It's all about what can be done, and there digital beat analogue now.

  • @MarctheDarc well, on principle i have nothing against VA, i own three VAs, two of them Rolands, but if i had 3000 buucks to blow on a synth, it would be an anolugue like the A6 Andromeda. BTW sometimes people just want the old circuitry back. When Korg issued the monotron it was a,huge success not because it hat an immensely flexible engine but because of that brutal MS 20 filter.

  • This is bullshit.

    Roland should have given us a new Jupiter 8 that is 100 percent analog with digital control like the Moog Voyger.

    We all want the look and sound of a real Jupiter 8.

    Phat Synthbass, bright warm strings.

    But this might as well be a Korg Triton workstation, whats with the piano's.

    Im sticking with real deal.

    Arturia's plug in at least looks and sounds good.

  • @dwightddddd

    Who is "we", perhaps only you?

  • @DJschanze Ha ha. Do you even know what a Jupiter 8 is?

    When I said we, I meant people that know dude, not people that don't.

    My jupiter 8, moogs are not leaving so you go buy this shit and be happy.

  • @dwightddddd ,,,,Phat Synth Brass? who in the world needs that tired old SYNTH BRASS JUPITER SOUND? are you in a 1980s Tribute band? lord! STOP IT!!!! if you want a Jupiter ANALOG Then go to the web and FIND ONE...BUY AN ANALOG! its a NAME not a RELIC

  • @dwightddddd yes why didn't they just call it something totally different, like Neptune or Saturn, so at least it would be in line with a BIG sound hence the Big Planet Name, but with no real connection to the Jupiter so they could make a new classic.
