This is a great composition, well rehearsed, and brilliantly delivered. The guitar was the instrument of the last century but the synth is this century's master instrument. This track proves that in spade fulls. Well done guys!! Cheers.
I love the sounds of the Jupiter 80. What a great song! Keep making cool keyboards! I have the Roland Fantom G8 and Juno 106. They are my favorite keyboards to play. Now I really want to try out a Roland Jupiter 80!
Hey guys, what an awesome sound. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you fella's play. I am a drummer myself (40 yrs of drumming now) and I love the Roland Kits. I'm getting a new Roland TD-4 KS V-Drum Kit myself this week. Keep up the good work guys, that was great.
Awesome, now that Sweetwater is doing no interest financing on these I'm jumping in before they discontinue it. First keyboard purchase in over two decades. My Roland JD-800 and D70 have served me well almost 25 years now, and only the D70 has had anything fade away with time and that is the LCD backlight. If this Jupiter 80 last as long as those it will most likely out live me :) Sounds are a dime a dozen these days with little macbooks and iPads, but a big solid metal work horse synth with actual metal weights under each key is priceless. Thanks Roland for keeping me inspired for 35 years now :0
For my opinion many new synths are wrong presented. The Jupiter 80 is a synth, and must presented as a synth, not as an entertainer keyboard. You can have the best gear and it is nothing, if you are not able to use it, and to pay with its highlights: This is a wonderful performance. Profs at work!
Wonderful performance from two immense and powerful Jupiter 80s, the drums are equally as impressive, shame it's recorded in mono, would be a great track to download, need more of this from these guys. Thanks for posting.
I updated my Jupiter 80 with the version 2.0.... If you like synth sounds, the update is insane... there are even better synth sounds now. Make sure you try a JP80 with the v2.0 update on a store!
Silly how people compare this to the old analog machines. Read on what the Jupiter serie really means. I appreciate the new and old Jupiters. In my opinion it has some of the older fat Jupiter sounds and they sounded pretty close. It has improved real instrument sounds and some really nice digital synth sounds. Great performance synth and would be a great addition to my Nord Stage II and Kurzweil PC3 setup. I think it's a wonderful performance synth.
That was fantastic. I see why you are with Roland. Does it get better than Jupiter 80? Even by today’s standards that is unearthly. And those playing skills kicked ass guys nice work!
Jupiter-80 was fun but an immensely flawed unit as well. I feel ZEN-Core is a vast leap forward in our technology and recreation power. In many ways FANTOM has exceeded everything that was and then some, despite being a quite different product overall. People shouldn't be looking back on the board with too much reverence, as it might cause some to invest now (too late) which isn't worth it.
I LOVE my Jupiter 80 and was fortunate to find a new old stock in box in Japan. And I just bought a Korg Kronos 88 and have a Yamaha Motif XF8. No need for anything else! Spoiled I am :-)
Digital, analogue? Does it really matter? In the right hands it's what you do with it that counts. I doubt fans in the audience or record company execs would notice the difference or care two hoots as long as you come up with some decent music. A superb demonstration here of what looks like a great musical instrument.
Yes, definitely everyone - the JP-80 starts to look amazing now, in light of the release of the new Jupiter-X. Many will start to realize what a beautiful Synth that they have not paid it the enough attention that it deserves.
+Life On Mars - Official I liked the look of it too and planned to pick one up at the local music shop but didn't like how flimsy it felt for the money. I thought my cheap pro-line (though more soviet looking) did a better job of holding the board solid.
That was a fun demo. But I think Roland has always done a poor job marketing this board. There should have been demos showing the creation of heavily layered extremely fat patches so players could see how versatile and powerful this keyboard really is. Unfortunately I think too many keyboard players don't want to dive into sound design and wait for expansion packets to come out and the marketing reflects that. It's a pity because whoever designed this board believed in sound design and it's a monster if you go deep. People who limit themselves to factory presets would probably be better served with a Kronos. This board is also very performance oriented, has a great build quality and I love the feel of they keybed.
The Jupiter-80 goes deeper than the Kronos? Not trying to challenge you on that POV, I simply don't know the answer. The Kronos is a monster. So, I'm interested in your response.
This is, what the Jupiter 80 should be, a JUPITER SYNTHESIZER. Not a piano, flute, bassoon or other wave rom instruments. Now my mind has changed on that machine.
uuuu... more anxiety while waiting my Jupiter 80 and TDK 30 KV for arrive to my home in Montevideo, Uruguay!! ;), and open the box! ... ;) aaaghhhh.....
Me hubiera gustado ver las capacidades del Júpiter y las capacidades de los músicos q por cierto son muchas!!!! Mucho efecto!!! El baterista es el único q muestra un poco su habilidad
Guitarists don't have to remember where each patch is and which part of the keyboard it is split to. That's what's on those ipads. Information to keep the multiple possibilities in this massive keyboard in check. Each patch change is written down for a live performance so mistakes are avoided. Real instruments can be played more easily without charts because you're only dealing with one instrument. Try playing your guitar while playing a trumpet and violin at the same time.
agree, i have no use for a fake keyboard oboe or harpsichord. i have an old roland e-30 that has a bunch of un usable sounds in the tone bank. wish it had more electronic stuff
I know the 'synth' lovers are goo-goo eyed, but cannot but think that the sounds are like every other Roland workstation I've either owned or played with... the marketing blurb promised a lot more than more super-saw waves, with chorus & reverb....
Rolandmedia, can you properly mixdown your audio and post STEREO instead of mono?? Can't listen to this.. Music has so much potential and you post this narrow audio.
Who’s still listening to this in 2024?
Timeless and unique performance. Always ❤️for the Jupiter 80.
I come back here every couple of months to get inspiration and dream one day i'll be this good.
I played my dad's jupiter 80 and i disn't want to stop playing it so thumbs up
This song deserves to be on itunes. PLEASE put it on itunes!!!!
I think people who are tied to charts are just raised that way
These are the most badass senoirs I've seen.
Great performance these Guys know what they are doing
This is a great composition, well rehearsed, and brilliantly delivered. The guitar was the instrument of the last century but the synth is this century's master instrument. This track proves that in spade fulls. Well done guys!! Cheers.
Amazing guys
That was stronge, great keyboards , I do wish it had more knobs and sliders.. but you guy's sound great..
Fantastico!!!
Great demo guys! Sounds amazing!!!
Perfect I love it it's amazing thank you
Excellent demo, Roland!!!
I love the sounds of the Jupiter 80. What a great song! Keep making cool keyboards! I have the Roland Fantom G8 and Juno 106. They are my favorite keyboards to play. Now I really want to try out a Roland Jupiter 80!
And now you can! Great purchase the other night! Only $1000 for this synthesizer!?!?!? You'd better thank Craigslist. :)
Now this is my kind of band! Reminds me of my favorite musicians Tangerine Drem!! I play a RolandTDK12X and love it
Love the music
I updated my jupiter 80 yesterday, version 2.0 is insane! its the synth lover paradise!
2:24 "party rock is in the houuuuse toniiiight!"

Awesome!
good very very good
GOOD JOB , NICE SOUNDS, LOVE THE DRUMS, CAN'T WAIT FOR VERSION 2.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY MORE DEMOS, I ENJOYED THIS.
Amazing musicians.
I forgot to say, I'm a happy Jupiter 80 owner. Can't wait for the update 2.0, thankyou very much!
Superbe👋👋👌👌❤

Roland, now you understand what a vintage synth lover wanna hear from a keyboard demo :P

Great Jetro the Brazilian!!
Very good
Jetro da Silva, Scott Tibbs and Steve Fisher --Thanks!!
I just bought this synthesizer off Craigslist for $1000!!!! Yeah, I love it! What an amazing machine!
Sam Williamson

Show, I want a keyboard Jupiter 80
Fodástico!

Unbelievable amazing sound... wow.... but I would like to see a video like this with the brazilian guy of vr-9 ad...

Everybody

@@synthheavens I will never part with my Jupiter 80. I am still interested in the X but we have to hear more demos.. The JP-80 is it's own beast.
Synths with live drums-Cool
Ohh my godness
where can i buy that ipad stand?
Love the Key-stands. Wich model is it?
+Life On Mars - Official
Roland KSJ8 designed for the Jupiter 80
+Life On Mars - Official I liked the look of it too and planned to pick one up at the local music shop but didn't like how flimsy it felt for the money. I thought my cheap pro-line (though more soviet looking) did a better job of holding the board solid.
neil degrasse tyson's brother plays a mean synth!
congrats your first like
dear roland,
how about a reissue of an sh-09, not a digital version either....ALL analog baby!!!! please and thank you.
spot on...and..the ipad mounts are by alesis hahaha
Reminds me of that 1970's band Space.
killed it
That was a fun demo. But I think Roland has always done a poor job marketing this board.

super true. I can go on for hours on the customization that the synth editor gives me
The Jupiter-80 goes deeper than the Kronos? Not trying to challenge you on that POV, I simply don't know the answer. The Kronos is a monster. So, I'm interested in your response.
Wauuuu :o))
All I can say is Geeeeeeee 80's
This is, what the Jupiter 80 should be, a JUPITER SYNTHESIZER. Not a piano, flute, bassoon or other wave rom instruments. Now my mind has changed on that machine.
agree with you !!;)
Like a boss! sheet music on an iPad
Probably doesn't even own a synth the prick. Lovely piece of music well done guys, nice to be a proud owner of a jp80 the power is awesome.
Is that a factory preset tone on the Jupiter 80 24 seconds into the video? Or did they make that sound
Good
SHIT HOT !!!
Did you listen in a headset, or cpu speakers? In a headset, sounds great.
uuuu... more anxiety while waiting my Jupiter 80 and TDK 30 KV for arrive to my home in Montevideo, Uruguay!! ;), and open the box! ... ;) aaaghhhh.....

Neil Degrasse Tyson on the left!
& lots of "fish eye" effect w/fake NASA cgi...
I do like the zombie move at 4:16
Good...¡¡¡ But, why in mono??????????
holand is cool my freand
Geez, incredible ghost tom fill at 3:46 ! Fakers!
Regular Show - "The Power" IRL!
2 Júpiter... apelou ! Kkk
to jest piękne tylko 3 instrumenty z czego 2 te same a takie piękne to co by było na żywo sie okarze jak sie kupi
Regular show!
Reminds me a little of ANNIMUSIC, just a little though.
whish my roland va7 sounded this good
Works well next to my moog xl .cant really bitch Bout comparing with toys.:)
Just wish Roland would go analog and make these real jupiters.
I wont sel this keyboard.
Don't hate.
I didnt know Gary Busey played synthesizers
Nice one,but i would enjoy better a demo from V-topia...
Could have done all that on 1 jupiter... lol.
agree, i have no use for a fake keyboard oboe or harpsichord. i have an old roland e-30 that has a bunch of un usable sounds in the tone bank. wish it had more electronic stuff
It's not a workstation ???
People are entitled to their opinions even if they are talking rubbish ;)
I know the 'synth' lovers are goo-goo eyed, but cannot but think that the sounds are like every other Roland workstation I've either owned or played with... the marketing blurb promised a lot more than more super-saw waves, with chorus & reverb....
and what a drummer so angry?
So, the drum kits are not so good as real battery.
A synth doesn't do 95% of the work. You should go play one sometime and come back.
Roland and Yamaha are the best for musicians. Long time ago it was Korg as well,but not anymore.

Rolandmedia, can you properly mixdown your audio and post STEREO instead of mono??
Can't listen to this.. Music has so much potential and you post this narrow audio.
