Roland Jupiter-Xm synthesizer

General

The Jupiter Series has been around for a quite a while and saw its first surge of popularity back in the eighties. The latest member to the family is the Roland Jupiter-Xm, a compact synthesizer with hands full of hands-on potential for ambitious sound designers. Inside, you'll find the ZEN-Core sound generator also featured in the new Roland Fantom, which practically means you're backed by multiple sound engines, both virtual-analogue and sample-based ones. It's made up of five parts; four for the synths and one for the drums.

Roland Jupiter-Xm: So much more than meets the eye!

In spite of its compact design, the Jupiter-Xm has been outfitted with a large amount of control elements and is more capable than you might expect at first sight. Take the ADSR envelope, for instance. This synth's actually got three: one for pitch, one for filter and one for amp. The filter? Well, let's just say there are a whole lot more than just one inside. A single LFO? Nah-ah. Three. Don't be fooled, this is not just another synth. The ZEN-Core technology makes this Roland synth exceptionally future-proof and a huge effects section will keep your creative juices flowing for years to come. And let's not forget the fresh-out-of-the-oven I-Arpeggiator. This pattern arpeggiator can drive the Jupiter-Xm by itself if need be!

Who and what's it for?

Let's talk about the connectors. With MIDI in and out, a mic input, jack and XLR outputs and more, the connection options are endless. This inspiring sound source deserves a rightful spot in any studio but was also built for live use with its lightning-fast interface and limitless potential.
