JUPITER-80 demonstration by Bernie Smith from Take That
Here’s a new demo of the Roland Jupiter 80; Bernie Smith is not your average session musician. Being the synth and piano man for acts like Annie Lennox and Take That need a special kind of musician. It’s a good job that his Jupiter 80 is not your average synth.

Roland Jupiter 80 Sound Demo
Some scapes made with the Jupiter 80. It’s the first synthesizer designed completely around SuperNATURAL® sound modeling technology, delivering expressive instrumental realism far beyond anything previously possible.
Since the launch of the JUPITER-80, many professional keyboard players and producers have praised its expressive SuperNATURAL sounds and live-performance capability. With the Version 2 software update, the JUPITER-80 offers new features that enhance its synthesis power, and provides more flexibility and creativity for musicians designing their own sounds.
“In my opinion a very warm and good sounding instrument with plenty of usable sounds and a good synth engine. I tried to put almost everything to this demo, but it`s hard and this demo should have one hour
”

“Roland Jupiter 80″ Distorted Polysynth
Short description:
What’s even more apparent is that the Jupiter 80 is not based on any conventional synth architecture, because it eschews the conventional patch and performance structures that have dominated synth architectures for the past 20 years or so. The lowest level (or so Roland claims) is the ‘Tone’, and there are two distinct Tone generators: Supernatural Acoustic (which, confusingly, also contains the APS sounds) and Supernatural Synth. The next level up is the ‘Live Set’, which can comprise up to four Tones in ‘Layers’. The top level is the ‘Registration’, which comprises four ‘Parts’: a single Tone in the Perc Part, a Live Set in the Lower Part, another Live Set in the Upper Part, and another Tone in the Solo Part.

Roland has announced that the new JUPITER-80 synthesizer is now shipping.
The JUPITER-80 represents an unprecedented leap forward in the pursuit of the most authentically expressive electronic musical instrument, just as the legendary JUPITER-8 did when it was launched 30 years ago.
Delivering instrumental realism far beyond any electronic instrument ever created, the 76-key, touchscreen-driven JUPITER-80 integrates the highest caliber of analog modeling, digital synthesis, and SuperNATURAL® expressiveness available in a live performance synthesizer, while its sleek industrial design pays homage to the original JUPITER-8. The combination of Roland’s most advanced synthesis technologies and design features gives keyboardists an amazingly realistic sound and a truly authentic performance feel.
