The iconic Roland Jupiter 8


Who doesn't remember this magical synth machine?! Roland Jupiter 8 is considered one of the best (and most expansive...) synths ever made. This stunning keyboard was born in 1981 and features a lot of what we (synthesizer users and electronic music fans) love: astonishing sounds that almost touch the sky. This weird (but awesome!) sounds making "beast" has been used by Tangerine Dream, Orbital, Future Sound of London, Moby, Duran Duran, Underworld, Vince Clarke, Ãœberzone, Jean Michel Jarre, Roxy Music, OMD, A Flock Of Seagulls, Depeche Mode, Rush, Meat Beat Manifesto, Banco De Gaia, Josh Wink, Thomas Dolby, Howard Jones, The Cars, Prince, Gary Wright, Jan Hammer, BT, Adrian Lee, Heaven 17, Kitaro, Elvis Costello, Tears for Fears, Huey Lewis and the News, Journey, Moog Cookbook, Toto, Yes, Devo, Freddy Fresh, George Duke, Greg Phillanganes, Jonathan Cain of Journey, Greg Johnson & Kevin Kendrick of Cameo, Stevie Wonder and Simple Minds, according to http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/jup8.php.


Technically speaking: this synthesizer features 16 analog oscillators at 2 per voice and 8-voice polyphony. The 8 voices allows the user to create awesome thick sounds. With these qualities (and much more...) this synth has everything the user needs to have hours (or days...) of fun while making some crazy sounds.
