Beautiful instrument and endless possibilities, but most important: good sound and a warm feel to it...congratz with this beauty! Maybe, one day, it will stand right in front of me ;-} And these words come from a huge KORG-fan!
Excellent review of a product. Please continue. I love that you spend more time testing and actually showing the product's capabilities rather than simply telling us.
This is a really cool synth. Sounds great and it has all the retro stuff and some very interesting new features. Instant album. Turn drums on. Turn arp on. Hit a few chords. Leave for about an hour. Done.
It "MUST BE GOOD" because I've never seen David Åhlund look so happy and excited before !! seriously though this synth is at the top of my "MUST HAVE" list - SUPERB !!
Tried that baby at a music store in my hometown until my seven year old daughter showed up&it was hard to get her away from that awesome machine...already a legend!
I wish Roland would at least work with Dave Smith or Korg to reissue the Juno. It's ridiculous that this far into the analog synth revival, we still don't have one of the most wanted reissues. There should be a Juno reissue with a button to switch between [6/60] and [106]. And the ability to choose how many voices in the unison mode, etc. Basically the Prophet Rev 4 concept but a Juno. Maybe you all are allergic to money, but if you released a "Roland Juno Rev 4" similar to the Prophet Rev 4 concept, you would have so many sales that the factories would be overwhelmed with production. If you don't have the infrastructure to develop these, work with a company who does... but you WILL get sales (me included). I don't want software in a box, I want reissues of the original analog chips (but modern and more reliable), in the original Juno-60 design (full sized, 5 octave, wood sides.. the works). Do a limited run if you have to... but you really should not squander your ownership of such a wonderful product. There's a reason almost EVERY studio you see a photo of has a Juno-60 somewhere. Take a hint, and finally end the endless "RIP Roland" comments that have been all over UA-cam since 2012.
The people who are in charge are so stubborn. I am sure the rest of the Roland corporation employees read these comments and feel the same as you and I feel. Bring back analog! And not cheesy ripoffs with 256 voices of polyphony. Wtf. And then all the models inside and claiming not to chase ghosts.. Mygod.. I hope some brave employees are going to step up and end this digital nonsense.
@@demonicsweaters Sorry, that's software too. "ACB" is a software/DSP system they've developed to imitate analog behavior and tone by emulating the individual components, but in software.
Watched all the Jupiter X videos while I’m waiting for mine to show up- so started on the XM vids and this is the best one by FAR. Awesome stuff. So excited to get my hands on one
This synth sounds really amazing, it really brings all the heritage of Roland in one box and what a heritage, the sounds that shaped the whole music industry, and of course endless sonic possibilities with ZenCore and by stacking the legacy ones. The only complain is that the workflow is far from being the most straightforward I've ever seen (like 5 or 6 function layers for the same 16 buttons, seriously ?). I find myself battling with the Xm in quite some occasions. Definitely a bit of firmware enhancements and a good series of official tutorials would help us make this product shine. Especially, I believe you should make it simple in the panel to set it for external control over midi very quickly (like a global setting of channels per part, receiving notes/CC and program change, I don't know), so that we can rock it easily with a larger MIDI keyboard/controller/sequencer. For now I feel I have to deal with several minutes specific MIDI/keyboard split setup each time have an idea that goes beyond the mini-keyboard. Get Jupiter-X you would say, but 17Kg is too heavy/large for my mobility/space constrains, approx the size/slightly heavier than my Juno DS61 would have been perfect. I hope if you post tutorials/tips, it will also help me in enhancing my workflow with it in the meantime.
Im interested in this for a mobile studio setup. I produce in my car with mpclive mk1 stand alone, mpk keyboard mk1, and korg volca fm. Everything is battery powered. This would replace the volca and mpk. Is there anything else out that would compete with the jupiter xm that's battery powered?
I'm also interested in this new battery revival world. hehe. Watching this thread if anybody chimes in someday. :) I love my yamaha dx for part of my "unplugged" jamming
What about Jupiter 4 (JP-4) sounds? THATs what I want! I'm so sad I sold my old JP4 many years ago, but it would be much better to have it in a modern device with MIDI and battery powered! So is it available in an upgrade/patch/expansion/module/software? or when will it?
I was looking for haters comments from Behringer fanclub. Over time I have switched my ministudio to all Roland products. Why? Why not: MX-1 TR-8 SH-01A (x2) TB-03 Boss Blues Drive - Jupiter Xm looks really nice synth and great addition to my list, however, this moment the price is little high for me, but I like the product. Would like to see how solid the keys are. Thank you Roland for bringing us nice sounding and flexible synths! Does not matter if it is emulation or not until it is good quality, sounds good and performs as required - and Roland products are really one of the most high quality thats why they cost more.
What a great synthesizer from roland,the roland is never disappoint but i think WE NEED AN EDITOR LIKE A VST BCZ THERE IS A HUGE SOUNDBANKS AND WE NEED TO CATEGORIZE IT,I HOPE IT WILL BE NEXT TIMES,this legend jupiter is gonna be legend again with the new model
What does he mean by “using the Zen-core engine alone, with no emulation” (~7:38)? Is this a different synth model, similar to the idea of the “System” synth, the non-plug-out synth on the System-1? I can’t find any info about it on the Roland site...
effegee7 yeah, it’s just how they call their new Synthesizer Engine. But one really nice Detail is, that you can, since most if not all their new boards (fantom, rd88 + grooveboxes) got the ZEN Core, exchange the only ZEN Core made sounds (so neither v piano or the vintage synths) amongst their boards.
Hello everyone , I would like to know more about it , but you can play it on the street, connect speakers and just play without connecting any laptop programs, computerism of drum machines just plugged in and play ! you can do this
Great presentation!! Quick question, been figuring out this for a while…how did you assign DJFX to the modwheel? In fact, where can I assign different functions to mod wheel in settings? (it seems locked on typical vibrato - pitch mod)?
Well, he said it's a tremolo organ. Bank 7, patches 107-108. If you are not satisfied, add tremolo effect and then try different e. organ patches with it.
Is there a way to have it integrate with Cubase? It only seems to have the ability to record audio and midi data rather than, for example, have instant settings for the synth automatically load when I load my DAW project.
Like.. I dont think overpriced is even a word that comes to mind when I see an instrument that offers this much clean production. Shut up and take my money...
I'm jaded. After seeing decades of product launches built around feature lists (you can do..., you can do...), I see no link to actual improved musical output/creativity.
I thought of EXACTLY same thing right after I started watching this clip. I know this guy, who's got like tons of hardware, he regards himself as some sort of a genius of electronic music, yet he's still doing the same thing that he was doing back in 2001-03...
@@SPAZZOID100 You don't understand. He thinks of himself as extremely cutting edge, yet he's still pretty deep stuck in the mid 1990s sonically. It's just his oversized ego that drives me mad...
Full sized keys, more knobs and aftertouch on the x. This one looks like there will be a good bit more menu, but better for gigging.... but the X does light up like it's Christmas
Of course it sounds nice. Still, this thing is just way too expensive for a digital synth - especially compared to the new Korg Wavestate, which is about half the price.
Wavestate only has a fraction of the Jupiter Xm's polyphony and sound design capability outside of Wavestate's wave sequencing gimmick, the price is close to fair for what it has, in my opinion, and it sounds much better than Wavestate in general to boot, so it is not even a fair comparison
I hope someday there will be a revolution inside Roland corporation. Clearly the people in charge don't listen to what the customers want. 2500 euro for some digital stuff. We have computers for that. 256 voices? Why in the world would you need that? 'We don't chase ghosts', but you do want to monetize on all those old models by using their names. And it doesn't sound as good as the originals. I am pretty sure everybody within the company reads these comments and feel ashamed. Look at the comments and see how Roland is defending it. It is just painful to read. If you want to do 256 voice digital for wedding keyboard players, go ahead, but please also give us what we want; a Jupiter 8 reissue. Then we can all shut up about it and then your customers would finally be happy.
previous roland pcms engine had FMX which is basic FM between two oscillators pretty sure thats still in zencore. Nothing like a yamaha dx engine though

This is one of Rolands greatest products!! So much fire power in a compact solution! Wish i had one!
This is a really cool synth. Sounds great and it has all the retro stuff and some very interesting new features. Instant album. Turn drums on. Turn arp on. Hit a few chords. Leave for about an hour. Done.
@Diosi Smith sorry I don't actually own one. I guess notes from the arp would be sent from midi out.
Max Headroom says so
Absolutely gorgeous. Excellent demo, and great performance. I want to see this guy play a live show.
cant deny it.. this thing sounds pretty darn good for a portable digital synth..zen core i must admit is an amazing thing
There are several great feature and audio demos already online since it's introduction. This is definitely one of them! Looking forward to my X!
It "MUST BE GOOD" because I've never seen David Åhlund look so happy and excited before !! seriously though this synth is at the top of my "MUST HAVE" list - SUPERB !!
Jiiiizz!!!!! Really love it!!!!! With the Juno I'm done... Amazed!
I just bought one! Been wanting this for months.
Wow, great demo! The iarpegoator bit was brilliant!
Yes,but now after several times listen too it,i find sounding always the same,its getting boring!
Boa
Is this synth amazing, or is the guy just a better keyboardist than 89.9% of all the other demo guys?
Both.
@@rolandglobal I loved his Fantom X demo song.
Just went back to it ua-cam.com/video/OgWb0RkbTEQ/v-deo.html
92.3%
Most of the demo features what the synth can do without him using any difficult keyboard technique. So it has to be the synth.
I REALLY like the way it sounds. I think it's a bit overpriced though
Should be more competitively priced to the Korg Wavestate!
I will wait and buy it used! It's over priced.....I would rather buy the Jupiter x at 1k more!
@@Goattmann109 I think they should make it as cheap as behringer does why not?I can buy a Mongoose mountain bike at Wal Mart.
For what is essentially a MIDI controller with software built in, yeah, it's pretty expensive.
Under-priced once you take a closer look at all it actually does.
Great video and demonstration of the Jupiter XM. Roland should do more of these videos to promote this product which is a very good underrated synth.
Just bought it. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Fantastic demonstration! Thanks 😀
Amazing synth , thanks for the fantastic demo showing the possibilities...
Wonderful synth. Every model sounds great, intuitive, lightweight. I love it.
I love David. This is awesome! 🤩
Love it! Thank you ROLAND for making the dreams come true!
Brought one a few weeks ago. Great instrument and sounds amazing.

Vintage analog synths are definitely my favorite. I want the Xm so badly
This is digital though not analog, but it's so good I couldn't care less about it not being analog.
Synthwaver obviously, but it's modeled to emulate vintage analog sounds, which I love. It sounds so close to the originals

It does

Totally unrelated but Roland please release a "Boutique" MC500 style sequencer, would be s great addition to a rack for live use.
