Members johnmoorejohn Posted March 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Since it is called a Jupiter, no doubt it will have a supersaw. I just hope it isn't multi-sampled like the Gaia, and VA generated like the SH-201. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members burster Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Will Roland's new synth allow me to make WORLDWIDE HITS like Rebecca Black's Friday?? Since it will have the worlds biggest Supersaw there is a good chance WORLDWIDE HITS can be made with it. FYI. Vagas mode = Digdesign control surfaces like the Icon, D-Command, Control 24, C24 and Pro Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Re-Member Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'd love to see them release another keyboard like the Roland JX-305, but reworked to feature a VA engine, 16 part sequencer and sampling capabilities. I'd easily pay more than a grand for that. It would be like an MC-909 combined with the JP-8000 with ZERO computer reliance and all editing features accessed from the buttons, knobs and menus.

Members ChristianRock Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 You don't need the computer to access pretty much any editing features of the SH-201... see raffor's Cheat Sheet The MC-808 on the other hand, is very computer-dependent...

Members Re-Member Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah, I still have my SH-201 since the cheat sheet covers mostly everything. But the MC-808... loading samples and editing patches was a nightmare. I ended up learning Ableton instead since I was glued to my PC, then sold it for a microSAMPLER.

Members orangefunk Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 oh-ohhttp://futuremusic.com/blog/2011/03/28/roland-readies-jupiter-80-for-messe-debut/As reported earlier, Roland will be debuting the Jupiter 80 keyboard. The new offering will be housed in a metal chassis with aluminum endcaps, like the original. It will have 76 keys and a large touch-screen interface. The three oscillator synth will follow the same model as recent vintage moniker revamps like the Juno and SH and reportedly incorporate more interesting sound design attributes.

Members sprinklerhead Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Doesn't mention if it's analog, VA or hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnmoorejohn Posted March 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Doesn't mention if it's analog, VA or hybrid. I was about to write that there would be absolutely no way that the synth would be analog or hybrid. But then I started thinking, at $3500-4000 it HAS to have something analog, or they would just be absolutely crazy... No one is going to pay $3500+ for a VA/rompler.

Members burster Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 I would guess VA. But why 76 keys? All this does is raise the price up. Sure a lot of people like 76 but, 61 key synths sell better. What a F-up Roland has become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure a lot of people like 76 but, 61 key synths sell better. What a F-up Roland has become. Every once in a while Roland releases a top-of-the-line instrument, usually incorporating some kind of new technology (to Roland instruments at least). Then over the course of the next however many years they release cheaper instruments that are derivative of that first most-expensive instrument. This could be what Roland is attempting with the Jupiter-80. If that is the case, I'm quite interested to learn what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members playstation Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 As Future Music said in that article "Fact is, Roland has never been able to truly capitalize on several of their brilliant products". This. I guess they could prepare us to be amazed, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sprinklerhead Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 For $4K I really hope that they will at least throw an analog board in it along with all the VA stuff that it's sure to have. If it is all VA and ROMpler, it had better have something impressive about it if they want to steel any Kronos sales away from Korg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members k2500x Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Roland is also said to have some new digital pianos on tap and for Fantom lovers, a new XR 128 voice model for your workstation pleasure. This may be one of the more interesting tidbits of information. Has Roland decided to skip the G and go back to the X line with a new rack model? I kinda doubt it, but I'd like to see a fully blown 2U XR with 8x SRX and 16 insert FX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChristianRock Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Kronos It's more than just a VA + ROMpler... it's got physical modeling (strings), modeling + samples (the new EP engine), and a 6-op FM synth, plus it's a full-fledged workstation with audio tracks and Karma 2... and as said, it can be had for under 3K. So, fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
