Description
Tap into an array Roland’s legendary synth and drum machine sounds from a single workstation. The Jupiter X is an all-encompassing keyboard capable of extraordinary feats thanks to its class-leading sound engine. Think of it as a full studio of vintage gear with a modern workflow.
Designed for cutting edge music creation anywhere and everywhere, the Jupiter X is packed full of iconic tones – made easily accessible across its intuitive control layout. This could be the perfect synth to build free-flowing complex compositions.
Sound Design
The Jupiter can layer up to five parts – four for synth and one for drums. It’s super simple switching between each section to alter parameters on the go, combining the tactile feel of retro synths with contemporary sound shaping.
Bring classic Roland analogue synths back to life, like the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106 and SH-101 and plenty more. Laying down drum beats is just as rewarding, with a selection of TR-808, TR-909 and CR-78 textures to explore.
The new I-Arpeggio is Roland most expansive arpeggiator yet, able to work on all five rhythm and drum sections simultaneously. You can even export this to your DAW. Roland will continue to update the platform with new sounds and content.
Build Quality
Roland certainly don’t skimp on quality hardware. The Jupiter X is super sturdy and uses RGB-lit aftertouch keys so you can get creative for live performance. In their words, the Jupiter X’s keyboard is the best they’ve ever made.
Its chassis is a blend of metal and premium components, incorporating balanced connections, MIDI and pedal inputs to slot right into your setup. All slider and controls are super sturdy and accurate – just adding to the precise nature of this monolithic music creator.
