In honor of the JUPITER Synth Legends, Volume 1, this post is dedicate

d to the real life legends who pioneered the movement during the golden era of synthesizers. The above video, “Synthesizer Medley” features Howard Jones, Herbie Hancock, Thomas Dolby, and Stevie Wonder during the 1985 Grammy® Award Ceremony in Los Angeles, California. We chose this video as it symbolizes the time in history that made many of these sounds legendary.

In true throwback fashion, the “JUPITER Synth Legends” update honors the following Roland boards of the 1980s:

JUPITER-8 (1981)

1981 JUPITER-8

TB-303 (1982)

SH-101 (1982)

JUNO-60 (1982)

JUPITER-6 (1983)

1983 JUPITER-6
JUNO-106 (1984)

1984 JUNO-106
D-50 (1987)

1987 D-50

The collection uses Roland’s SuperNATURAL® sound engine to capture these seven historical synthesizers which include all new Tones, Registrations, and Arpeggio Patterns. These classic synthesizers have between 10 and 20 iconic factory preset sounds that distinguish their character and are represented among 122 newly created single Tones for the JUPITER-80 and JUPITER-50. There is also 512 new Live Sets that combine the historic synthesizers together using layers and multi-effects processing. Here is a download of the full sound list.
