Relive a Synth Legend

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the JUPITER-8, Roland introduces a miniature synthesizer with sonic capabilities and interface features inspired by the early ’80s analog legend. Housed in the compact Roland Boutique format, the JUPITER-08 is a powerful and fun instrument that delivers classic sound, hands-on control, and modern performance tools in a highly mobile design.

JUPITER Sound, Modern Enhancements

Backed by Roland’s latest technologies, the JUPITER-08’s refined voice allocation and pitch behavior deliver a rich, animated playing experience with enhanced polyphonic performance and genuine vintage-inspired character.

Maximum Creative Power

With its flexible sound engine, the JUPITER-08 is a highly capable tool for performance and composition. Set it for a retro experience with architecture inspired by the original JUPITER-8. Or expand the polyphony to 32 voices to meet modern playing needs and craft all-new tonalities.

Polyphonic Sequencer and Arpeggiator

Create basslines, chords, and melodic sequences with a two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer that supports up to eight notes per step plus motion recording. There’s also an arpeggio function for building dynamic, evolving sounds on the fly.

Expanded Effects Processing

The JUPITER-08 features powerful onboard processing for sound shaping and spatial enhancement with 17 MFX types—including the classic Roland stereo chorus—plus dedicated delay and reverb effects. The reverb includes a unique shimmer mode that applies an octave-shifted color to the current reverb type.

Performance-Oriented Workflow

Dedicated controls, Hold functionality, and an intuitive interface provide immediate hands-on interaction in both studio and live environments. A USB-C audio/MIDI interface, traditional MIDI I/O, and an external clock input make the synth easy to integrate into any contemporary production environment.

Compact Roland Boutique Design

The JUPITER-08 carries on all the great design features of the Roland Boutique series, including a built-in speaker and flexible battery/USB-C power for music creation on the move. A K-25m keyboard dock is included, creating a standalone mini-instrument that’s ready to travel everywhere.
