The sound and control of a jupiter-8, the size of a book the legendary jupiter-8 synth is back as a limited-edition module no bigger than a book. Part of the Roland boutique series, the JP-08 is all about hands-on control and that iconic Jupiter sound. With an array of 36 knobs and sliders from the original jupiter-8 front panel, the 4-voice JP-08 is highly programmable and encourages sonic experimentation, especially with the built-in speaker and battery operation. Using Roland's acclaimed analog circuit behavior (acb) technology the JP-08 faithfully reproduces the original jupiter-8 sounds and adds a few new twists in the form of extra lfos and expanded VCO range. You can even slide the JP-08 into the optional k-25m keyboard unit for a self-contained, go-anywhere synth experience.
