Product Information
Celebrate 45 years of a synthesizer legend with the Roland JUPITER-08, a compact polyphonic synthesizer that brings the iconic sound and hands-on experience of the original JUPITER-8 into the modern Roland Boutique format. Inspired by one of the most revered analogue synthesizers of the early 1980s, the JUPITER-08 combines classic sonic character, an intuitive control layout and contemporary performance features in a portable instrument designed for studio production, live performance and music creation on the move.
The JUPITER-08 recreates the rich, animated character of the legendary JUPITER-8 with an eight-voice, two-part architecture. Its flexible sound engine supports layered, split and dual-part configurations, providing the creative freedom to build powerful basses, expressive leads, lush pads and evolving polyphonic textures. Refined voice allocation and vintage-inspired pitch fluctuation further enhance the authentic playing experience, capturing the character and movement associated with the original instrument.
A colourful, hands-on interface puts essential sound-shaping controls within easy reach, encouraging experimentation and immediate musical expression. The JUPITER-08 also offers extensive onboard processing, including 17 effects such as chorus and multi-effects, alongside dedicated delay, reverb and shimmer reverb. These processing options allow musicians to explore everything from classic synthesizer tones to expansive, atmospheric soundscapes.
For sequencing and performance, the JUPITER-08 features a two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer supporting up to eight notes per step and motion recording. An integrated arpeggiator provides additional rhythmic and melodic possibilities, while the Hold function allows sustained playback for hands-free sound manipulation. Together, these tools make the instrument equally capable of spontaneous live performance and detailed studio composition.
Modern connectivity includes a USB-C audio/MIDI interface for integration with computers and digital audio workstations, traditional MIDI input and output for external instruments, and an external clock input for synchronisation with analogue equipment. Built-in speakers and flexible power options allow the JUPITER-08 to operate away from a conventional studio setup, using either four AA batteries or USB-C power.
Finished with distinctive silver side panels, the JUPITER-08 maintains the compact footprint and premium styling of Roland's Boutique series. The included K-25m keyboard dock transforms the module into a standalone miniature keyboard synthesizer, ready for rehearsals, performances, desktop production and travel. Combining the celebrated sound of the JUPITER-8 with expanded polyphony, modern effects and versatile connectivity, the Roland JUPITER-08 delivers a classic synthesizer experience for contemporary musicians.
