Widely known as the king of polysynths, the mighty Roland JUPITER-8 has been revered by legions of musicians since its debut in 1981. The JUPITER-08 celebrates the 45th anniversary of the analog legend with a special addition to the acclaimed Roland Boutique series. Offering expanded sonic capabilities and interface features inspired by the original hardware, this powerful mini synth delivers classic sound, hands-on control, and modern performance tools in a go-everywhere design.
Backed by Roland’s latest technologies, the JUPITER-08 recreates the JUPITER-8 vibe in miniature. Featuring refined voice allocation and pitch behavior, this powerhouse creative instrument provides a rich, animated sound experience with enhanced polyphonic performance and genuine vintage-inspired character.
With its flexible sound engine, the JUPITER-08 is a highly capable tool for performance and composition. Set the synth for a retro experience with architecture inspired by the original JUPITER-8. Or expand the polyphony to 32 voices to meet modern playing needs and craft all-new tonalities.
The JUPITER-08 features powerful onboard processing for sound shaping and spatial enhancement with 17 MFX types—including the classic Roland stereo chorus—plus dedicated delay and reverb effects. The reverb includes a unique shimmer mode, allowing you to apply an octave-shifted color to the current reverb type.
The JUPITER-08 carries on all the great design features of the Roland Boutique series, including a built-in speaker and flexible battery/USB-C power for music creation on the move. A K-25m keyboard dock is included, creating a standalone mini-instrument for on-the-go inspiration.
