  • Roland Jupiter-8

    Synthesizer · Japan

    The Roland Jupiter-8, introduced in 1981, is Roland's flagship eight-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer. With two oscillators per voice, versatile splits and layers, and patch memory, it delivered a bold, refined sound used across pop, film, and electronic music, and it remains one of the most coveted vintage polysynths.

  • Roland Jupiter-6

    Synthesizer · Japan

    The Roland Jupiter-6, released in 1983, is a six-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with two oscillators per voice and a flexible multimode filter. Smaller and more affordable than the flagship Jupiter-8, it was among the first synthesizers to ship with MIDI and is prized for its punchy, aggressive sound.
