• Single Tone is equivalent to the performance of powerful single synthesizer—stack four of these to create a mind-blowing “Live Set”
• Tone Blender tweaks multiple parameters of tones in realtime for complex, emotive sonic movement during performance
• Fast, friendly operation with intuitive front panel and color touchscreen optimized for live performance
• 76-note semi-weighted synth keyboard, and 256 polyphonic voices (varies according to sound-generator load)
• USB-memory Song Player/Recorder for backing tracks or quick idea capture

Gigging musicians will love the stockpile of essential sounds onboard, including Roland's famous SuperNATURAL grand pianos, strings, brass, and much more.  The JUPITER-80 puts a fast-access user interface under your fingers.

The possibilities of the stackable SuperNATURAL architecture and unique features such as Tone Blender, which tweaks values of multiple parameters simultaneously and lets you "capture" any new combination and save it as a Live Set.  Create complex, emotional textures that respond, react, and evolve like nothing you've heard before.  Tone Blender can also enhance your live-performance capabilities by letting you assign its multiple parameters to controllers such as the D Beam.

JUPITER-80's sound engine handles four x tones with dedicated DSP per tone as a basic unit "Live Set" for manual performance.  Layering of Upper and Lower Live Sets, plus a specialized "SOLO" part, means the incredibly massive nine-tone-stack sound.  Customized complex settings can be saved as Registrations, and easily recalled during live performance.
