The original Roland Juno and Roland Jupiter are two iconic names in the world of synthesizers. Numerous albums, popular movie scores, and all types of timeless sound design from the 1980s can be traced back to these two instruments. Vintage Roland gear is in serious demand, is in short supply, and comes with a hefty price tag. So, what’s the answer for those of us craving those sounds? Well, luckily for us Roland has been hard at work! Today, their new 61-key X-Series synths are an ultimate fusion of classic 80s machine and ultramodern technological powerhouse.
The Roland JUNO-X gives you authentic models of the vintage JUNO-60 and JUNO-106 synths to go along with their newly developed JUNO-X sound engine. It’s like having your own pocket time machine that can hop between the then and now. There are loads of modern features and input/output connectivity ports. Throw in expansion slots to load additional sound crafting modules from the Roland Cloud, Bluetooth audio support, USB Memory Port for backups, the ability to sync with your computer and function as a USB Audio Interface, onboard stereo speakers, and it becomes evident just what kind of commanding device you’re dealing with. And that’s only scratching the surface...
The Roland JUPITER-X brings it own new sound engine to the table, one that can also emulate a number of their vintage analog classics (JUPITER-8, SH-101, and JUNO-106) and drum machines (TR-808, TR-909, CR-78, and more). It’s like having an entire room full of vintage gear in one piece! JUPITER-X can stack up to five parts in rich polyphony, four for synths and one for drums. Strings, synths, pads, bass/melody splits, the possibilities of a synth-like orchestra are yours for the taking!

The feature sets on these Boutique models are impressive and you’ll also enjoy versatile connectivity options – that includes USB, MIDI, and on select models, CV parameter inputs as well.
