The Essentials to Know About the Roland JUPITER-X Synthesizer (61 Keys)
- Iconic Roland Sound powered by the ZEN-Core engine and "MODEL" modeling (JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, SH-101, JX-8P, RD pianos) for virtual analog textures and modern timbres.
- 61-key semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch, all-metal chassis, large controllers and RGB buttons for immediate handling both in the studio and on stage.
- Intelligent multi-part I-Arpeggio that analyzes your playing and generates customizable and exportable drum, bass, chord, and arpeggio lines.
- "Scene" workflow with layering up to 5 parts, dedicated effects, and seamless integration with ZENOLOGY Pro and the ZEN-Core ecosystem.
The Return of a Legendary Name at the Top of the Roland Range
JUPITER is a legendary name at Roland. The JUPITER-X continues this heritage by combining the aesthetics of the golden years with ultra-powerful modern electronics. Thanks to the ZEN-Core system and Modeling Extensions, it reinterprets the brand's classics while opening the door to contemporary sounds. Positioned as a high-end instrument, it targets demanding keyboardists who want a premium stage instrument and a deep sound design machine.
For Whom and For What? From Studio to Large Stages
Designed for advanced and professional musicians, the JUPITER-X excels live thanks to its dedicated controls and robustness, and shines in the studio with its sonic versatility. Electro, techno, synthwave, pop, ambient, soundtracks: its layers, splits, and scenes adapt to all contexts, from inspired improvisation to detailed production.
Features and Innovations
At its core, the ZEN-Core engine combines virtual oscillators, multimode filters, envelopes, and LFOs for modern subtractive synthesis enhanced by "MODEL" engines faithful to Roland classics. You can stack up to four synth parts plus one rhythm part, with generous polyphony designed for wide pads and layered textures. The I-Arpeggio works simultaneously on five parts, generates evolving patterns, and is controlled from a panel rich in dedicated knobs and sliders. A comprehensive effects section (multi-effects, chorus, delay, reverb, compressors, EQ) refines the sound, while USB audio/MIDI and Bluetooth facilitate integration into production workflows and mobile playing. The JUPITER-X editor and ZENOLOGY Pro allow you to create, exchange, and deploy your sounds between software and hardware.
