JUPITER-X at a Glance
Since the release of the JUPITER-4 in 1978, the name JUPITER has marked the pinnacle of Roland sound and playability. Roland synthesisers with the JUPITER name carry the most advanced sound technologies, are supremely playable, and are built from premium materials.
JUPITER-X combines classic Roland design and premium build quality with a powerful new synth engine. It faithfully recreates sought-after instruments from our long history of genre-defining sounds. And with multiple layers, loads of polyphony, and profound hands-on control, you can craft huge, spacious sounds that have as much sparkle as they have warmth and punch.
The 61-key JUPITER-X is the ultimate culmination of Roland sound quality and design. Its all-metal build uses premium materials throughout, and the all-new aftertouch-enabled keyboard is the best seen. A familiar layout and extensive array of controls let you dig in and easily shape your sounds, whether composing in the studio or performing on stage.
At the core of the JUPITER-X is Roland's latest sound engine, capable of morphing into legendary synths from our long history of genre-defining sounds. So flexible that it can reproduce highly sought-after analog classics like the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, and SH-101, as well as digital machines like the vintage XV-5080 and modern RD pianos. Included are the many Roland drum machines that are the foundation of electronic and dance music like the TR-808, TR-909, CR-78, and more. It'll make you feel like you have a studio full of vintage gear at your fingertips, boosted by modern technology.
Need something extraordinary, now? JUPITER-X's I-Arpeggio uses artificial intelligence to analyse your performance and create the optimal arpeggio at that moment. I-Arpeggio takes your input—notes, rhythms, phrases—and creates complementary drum parts, basslines, chords, and arpeggiated lines. It works on each of JUPITER-X's five elements simultaneously, and generated patterns can be customised and even exported to your DAW. These aren't canned backing tracks—JUPITER-X utilises AI to generate beats and phrases that energise live performance and pulverise writer's block.
In addition to its informative display, JUPITER-X has a massive array of large, comfortable knobs, sliders, and buttons. They feel firm and precise for incredibly smooth sweeps and subtle changes. And with the dedicated effects section and quick switching between synth layers, you can immediately take control of any aspect of a sound. This kind of natural, hands-on control gives you the feeling of reaching in and touching the sound, shaping it to find just the right settings for the moment.
JUPITER-X can layer up to five parts, four for synths and one for drums. Its engine can power multiple authentic Roland classics like the JX-8P or JUPITER-8 with enough polyphony to create thick layers and complex backing parts. Create the perfect bass and lead split with an SH-101 and JUNO-106, layer a rich RD piano with lush JX-8P strings, or make a monster stack of JUPITER-8s.
Whether it’s a personal studio, professional studio, or a touring rig, JUPITER-X is right at home. The tough metal and premium components mean it stands up to live performance rigours and always feels solid and precise. The high-quality balanced connections, numerous performance controllers, and multiple pedal inputs make JUPITER-X ready for any situation.
