Why not earmark your success in these areas with those fine synthesizers by reproducing them again… as they originally were? People WILL buy them, and not just the power players, but also the collectors and even the newbs will want at it as well. The fact is, people really love your JUNO and Jupiter synthesizer products because of the analog filters, and quality of sound. If your going to go all out on the aluminum casing, then why not make it a real JP8 reissue? If we are capable of making affordable 80017 clones, then it shouldn't be too hard for your large manufacturing facilities to handle it. I'm sure it's a very capable digital workstation you have made here, but it should just be a new Fantom line or something. The JP8 is 'THE' flagship of your product line and this marketing ploy does both the 'Jupiter' and the 'Roland' name no respect or honor.Īs a marketing professional myself, please reconsider the branding here.

Jupiter 80 integrates Roland’s SuperNATURAL synthesis engine for organic, huge-sounding synth patches and super expressivity. Now in 2011, Roland bring back the Jupiter in the form of the Roland Jupiter 80. Here’s what Roland has to say about the Jupiter 80 synthesizer:Ī name synonymous with classic 80s synthesis is the Roland Jupiter. This comes via Sonic State, which says that they want to “give a flavour of the instrument, without the usual sales slant that a professional presentation is bound to.” Here’s a great in-depth look at the Jupiter 80 sounds from early user Howard Jones. The first videos of the Roland Jupiter 80 are starting to come out of Musikmesse 2011.
