This piece of gear is definitely something I wanna work my way up to buying, your review has sold me on it. Belting out fresh tunes on the fly with those amazing sounds will certainly take my music to a whole new level.
It is such an amazing synth. Love it to bits. Kids will want one in 20 years time and pay $$$$$$$$$ for it. Dive into the architecture of it and be endlessly entertained.
Jupiter-80 is a great lookingi synth, I love the design, I don't know why we don't see more of this style, perhaps there is a misconception that this use of colours is outdated or something just because it was more common in the 70ies. This synth looks awesome !!
@StarKingMuzik the Jupiter 80 have a USB recorder. You can perform on the keyboard and save to a wave file. You can use that wave file in a DAW on PC. With this you can have an infinity number of JP80s playing "together" in a song. Sweet! JP80 also have an digital coxial output. I will not use on the DAW as a MIDI source. Doesn't make sense to me have only one JP80 in a song if a can have multiples JP80 using wave files.
I hope you show more demos on the Jupiter 80. Im looking to buy one soon. Ive looked at the Kronos too but I think these super natual sounds and the control that you have on the sounds is unmatched. I might buy a Kronos for some other uses. The gand pianos are pretty good on the Kronos and the sequencer is nice too. But I use Logic 9 and can do all my recording over to that and editing. I hope Roland plans to have even more sounds that a person could add to the system by buy& downloading
What i am for sure missing on the new synths like this jupiter80 is the dedicated knobs. This is always overlooked and/or saved money on. I am telling you, touch screens are shit!
Well, touch screens are generic hardware, that you can reprogram with different functionalities with software. Touchscreen is the most cost effective interface option. The disadvantages are obvious, the lack of tactile feedback, and very often you need a 2nd or 3rd go to make some function take effect. Sliders are expensive. If the JP-80 had sliders like the JP-8, it would cost $1,000 more, easily. And at $4,500 Roland wouldn't sell that many. I don't even know how many they sold at $3,500.
Hi Everyone. After watching this video, i realized how to put the thoughts of my awareness and understanding of what is going seriously, scarily wrong with our world today!!!! And let me start of by saying i am also a serious musician too. This piece of equipment is Remarkable! IT is wonderful! It is a very handy musical tool! BUT IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE PROBLEMS CREATING THE SOCIAL VOID IN OUR WORLD TOO!!!!!! How so????? Because with all of this performance technology? NO ONE WILL NEED EACH OTHER TO MAKE MUSIC ANY MORE!!!! All of these instruments, and their performance abilities, are taking the place of actual people! musicians with their unique individual musical abilities, perspectives, and skills! Which keeps everyone separated really, and not needing each other. AND WE ARE MADE TO NEED EACH OTHER!!! THAT IS WHAT OUR HUMAN FAMILY IS! A HUMAN FAMILY. A very divided and disorganized human family yes. BUT.. those divisions and disorganization both have very clear and identical explanations. And we can resolve them, and all the problems they create among us. There are 2 things happening that are soley responsible for the state of our world. 1- bad people! Bad people do all the bad things that cause all kinds of problems and create all kinds of harm, damage, chaos and disorder! 2- good people! good people are the people who try to do the right things, but are living in a world controlled by mostly bad people. And therefore are stuck having to live with the structures created by all the bad people! They think! But if all the good people, fought back, and got to work confronting all the bad people, ( in all the proper ways, and sometimes, necessarily not proper ways, but appropriate ways ) Then we can change all of this! Musicians are born with music in them, with an understanding of music and how to make it. They are here to bring and keep music in the world for everyone else to enjoy. We need music! And we also need musicians! people not machines, to make music! This technology creates a situation where different musicians dont need to work with other musicians to create a band or any music together. This will only keep people separated and ultimately strengthen the void that exists now! All of these companies keep trying to make products they claim, to help people! to aid people in creating or performing. Yet these products dont do that, THEY ACTULLY ENABLE PEOPLE TO DO THESE THINGS! yes, they save some people time, and money, and some headaches. BUT those things are a necessary part of life! People and life is not perfect, and obviously not meant to be perfect! for the reasons of people needed each other, and learning from the experiences of dealing with each other and all the bullshit that life seems to just give us no matter what. What the companies need to do is stop mass producing things all the time.. just make things that people really need. And stop competing with other companies to out sell or out shine. We dont need 100 different pizzerias in the same neighborhood. Yes, they all may make a little money, offering little to no difference from each other, BUT WHAT IF THERE WERE JUST ONE OR TWO GREAT PIZZERIAS???? HOW MUCH CAN YOU IMPROVE ON A SLICE OF PIZZA!????? see my point here people?? its not about the PIZZA!! ( which is not healthy for anyone anyway ) Just a metaphor... ok that is my comment.. I hope people are touched and inspired to go out there and do their part to make a positive difference in which ever ways they can! And if your reading this and youre one of the bad people???? i hope this makes you re think what youre doing in your own life and to the lives around you! And i hope it inspires you to stop being bad, and go to JESUS To get the help and healing you need to be good! ~
Technology in isolation is not a replacement for human creativity. This wonderful Roland enhances and does not replace musicians and how musicians work together. I think you are very wrong.
I waiting for a new Fantom workstation from Roland then I will spend my money. I would like to have a new Fantom model and I will add a V-synth GT to go along with it for the voice stuff it does and more. Roland needs to get a new Fantom workstaion out. The G8 is nice and easy to use and nice with the mouse. But it needs some more memory and do away with the cards for natural drum, horns etc just put the stuff in the machine to start with. They will get my money if they get with it.
I'm a huge fan of Roland vintage gear, but they really shouldn't refer to these magnificent synths of the 80ies in their new products, which truly sound nothing like the original. You want the sound of a Jupiter? Get a Jupiter 4, 6 or -if you can afford it- an 8. my 2 cents.
great keyboard - always annoying to see guitar demos on a synth....( oooh ! look how natural it sounds ) We have guitars , by the way. Show us some BASS instruments, Leads and Keys
Just like to air my views....having grown up on classic analog/digital synths of the 70's and 80's (Jupiter 8, Prophet 5, Pro One, MonoPoly, Juno 60, DX7, D50 etc etc). When I buy a synth....I want it to be totally synthetic sounding. Thats what I expect a synth to do. As soon as you start incorporating piano, organ, trumpet, flute, drums which sound like realistic samples (even if they're generated using some other kind of technology)...then the whole FEEL of the synth is lost.
@@truthmanifestingtruth He is a purist and likes dedicated synthesizer for each synthesis method, not one do-everything box. Also, not everyone likes touch screens.
Its fairly true, most analogues have a sound that something like this won't ever get, its not hard to notice either. This sounds glassy and a bit thin, sort of like its trying to be all clean and digital, which isn't bad at all. It just is nothing like the Jupiter 8. Roland should have waited until they were ready to make another analogue to call it a Jupiter.
I have looked at the Kronos and not real impressed. I would rather have a new Fantom model loaded with some more mem and other new techi stuff to make it powerful. I have my money waiting for them if they come out with it.
@thelurker25 That is right they paid alot more and still bitching. They need to over it and get behind Roland and their new product. Don't bash it down and the company.
There is a reason why Roland Jupiter 8's now sell for over £4500. That'll buy you an average condition one. Roland MKS80's also go for around £2k+. Rather than constantly being told what we 'need' and what we 'want' perhaps Roland could look into reissuing a true analog poly synth using their Jupiter 8, Juno 60 and JX8P as reference. Much smaller companies, with far less resources have reissued iconic instruments. But the difference is, they are FAITHFUL reproductions. We want analog synth.
Was the Jupiter 8 really designed to simulate real instruments? I doubt it unless anyone shows me a proof. It's concept wasnt like a preset synthesizer and the structure actually is pretty basic analog, similar to a Prophet 5. It offered Splits and Duals, good polyphony, programmability... I believe it rather was designed as a synthesizer not a reproducer.
Wheres the drums? Why do I need to buy more synths to use an onboard sequencer. Wheres the sampler! Its 3500$ in the states, and no sampling? Supernatural technology? 10% of all patches... the rest is roland history rehashed... All of this for 3500 bucks?
You obviously don't get what this synth is designed to do, and for whom for that matter. It's a perfect performance instrument with literally tons of high quality sounds and is aimed for a pro or semi-pro player. Sequencers are better implemented in a computer than on this tiny screen and you do have a simple recorder in it for when you quickly need to put down an idea in the spur of the movement.
“Ease of use” .... LMAO. It’s no plug n play. Which is why I’m not buying one. Don’t want to spend months on end trying to figure out neurosurgery of a synth like this.
This piece of gear is definitely something I wanna work my way up to buying, your review has sold me on it. Belting out fresh tunes on the fly with those amazing sounds will certainly take my music to a whole new level.
+Sigmaairav i have one and love it
+Christopher Thibodeaux I'll second that!
That was a phenomenal presentation.

Absolutely awesome demo vid.
Nice Demo of a great Performance Synthesizer. Great, fat sounds.
What we need is a quick wrist watch check in the beginning. Gives us peace of mind. Great dome. Tnx.
best jupiter 80 demo that I heared... - Good Job! Thanx

I need this for my new year
Great vid Mark. Thanks
Great Job Mark. Look forward to see you playing again in QLD sooner than later :) Neil
best demo

@dvamateur yes but keep in mind that this is $2400 brand new... and a used jupiter 8 is like $5000
I wish they would have put pads on this keyboard that you could assign funtions to like
you can on the Fantom G8.
its sounds so nice
What i am for sure missing on the new synths like this jupiter80 is the dedicated knobs. This is always overlooked and/or saved money on.

I love this synth but i have to say that the screen is still too small, i would like to see a vga-out connector for a monitor.
i guess if this synth was availeble with a good 88 hammer action keyboard to buy a RD700NX would be bad idea.
Did anyone buy this keyboard?
Jonathan Caine ( of Journey )
Is this rompler ?
How about more dedicated knobs like Nord does?
Hi i have this keyboard but the screen is broken can you please help me out with the screen?
would've sounded more impressive if you fed the synth output to your mixer. You DID use a mixer, right?
I WANT!!!

creative media I love to see guitar demos on a synth. Roland Integra 7 has the best I’ve heard, but software like orange tree samples are the best.

DIGITALSCREAMS how is it lost when it does what you are use to in addition to what you aren’t use to? Did it trade capabilities or add capabilities?

this beats xp80 too :)
Thats a loud key-bed brother!
Any soft synth can do this!
The idea; a keyboard is attached and no latency; yummy!
Wheres the drums? Why do I need to buy more synths to use an onboard sequencer. Wheres the sampler! Its 3500$ in the states, and no sampling?

Turn off the bs effects and you have crappy thin sound.
