Roland Jupiter-08 - Eight-voice Digital Synthesizer

The Roland JUPITER-08 celebrates the 45th anniversary of the legendary JUPITER-8, bringing its iconic sound and performance-oriented workflow to a compact Roland Boutique synthesizer. Featuring an eight-voice, two-part architecture inspired by the original, it delivers rich polyphonic sounds with vintage-inspired character, refined pitch behavior, and versatile layering, splitting, and dual-part capabilities.

Designed for hands-on sound creation, the JUPITER-08 includes 17 onboard effects, plus dedicated delay, reverb, and shimmer reverb. Its two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer supports up to eight notes per step and motion recording, while the arpeggiator and Hold function offer additional possibilities for evolving patterns and live performance.

The JUPITER-08 combines a colorful, intuitive interface with modern connectivity in a portable design featuring built-in speakers and an included K-25m keyboard dock. USB-C audio/MIDI, traditional MIDI I/O, and an external clock input make it easy to integrate into studio, hardware, and live setups. Power it via USB-C or four AA batteries for music creation on the go.
