Roland Jupiter-Xm

In 1978, when polysynths were just new, Roland profiled itself as a top synthesizer manufacturer with the Jupiter-4. Since then, synthesizers bearing the Jupiter badge have proudly represented Roland's premium sound technologies and keyboard actions. The Jupiter-Xm combines classic Roland design and robust build quality with the new ZEN-Core synth engine. With multiple layers, extensive polyphony and deep hands-on control, Jupiter-Xm gives you the power to effortlessly build and implement massive, evolving soundscapes with warmth, punch and brilliance. Equipped with 37 solid, responsive mini keys and optional battery power, the Jupiter-Xm is the ultimate self-contained, ultra-portable performance and electronic production synth!

analog to vintage digital - and beyond...
The Jupiter-Xm features Roland's very latest sound engine, capable of reproducing not only sought-after analog classics like the Jupiter-8, Juno-106 and SH-101, but also vintage digital synths like the XV-5080 and today's RD pianos. Also on board: an arsenal of Roland drum machines (including the TR-808, 909, 707, 727, 606, CR-78 and more) that are the cornerstones of electronic and dance music. The Jupiter-Xm is like a studio brimming with vintage equipment - but with modern capabilities and a deep, powerful synth engine that opens the gates to new sonic worlds.

I-Arpeggio: for inspiration
Whether you're accompanying a singer or writing music for a movie, you're familiar with working under pressure. You often find yourself in the position of having to produce something great quickly. Say hello to your new best friend: Jupiter-Xm. It comes equipped with Roland's next-gen I-Arpeggio, which uses Ai to not only guide you - but also fuel your creativity. I-Arpeggio takes your notes, rhythms and phrases and produces perfect drum parts, bass lines and chords. This intelligent arpeggiator works simultaneously on each of Jupiter-Xm's five parts, and you can customize the generated patterns and export them to your DAW via USB. These are not backing tracks be hear...: they are intelligently generated beats and phrases that beautify your live performance and eliminate writer's block - a welcome feature if you want to define your own unique stamp as an artist.

Finding the perfect settings
In addition to the informative LCD screen, the Jupiter-Xm is equipped with an impressive array of knobs, faders and buttons that invite direct control. These robust controls feel smooth and precise for confident real-time sweeps, subtle or bold. Of course, the Jupiter-Xm has a dedicated studio-quality FX section and switching between synth layers is very easy, so you can immediately take control of every aspect of your sound. The Jupiter-Xm's controls are so intuitive that you feel like you can massage your sound to make it sound exactly the way you want it.

Unleash your creativity
With the ability to layer up to five parts - four for synths and one for drums - the Jupiter-Xm is a beast. Its engine can drive multiple authentic Roland classics like the JX-8P and Jupiter-8 with enough polyphony to create thick layers and complex background parts. Create the ideal bass/lead split with an SH-101 and JUNO-106; layer a pristine RD piano with rich JX-8P strings; build a colossal stack of Jupiter-8s; with the Jupiter-Xm, your creative vision is never compromised by technological limitations.

Wireless freedom, ideal also for traveling
With the JUPITER-Xm, you have the freedom to create, perform and produce anytime, anywhere. It runs for hours on eight AA batteries (an AC adapter is included); it features powerful speakers that can also play audio via Bluetooth; it even controls soft synths on your computer or iPad via Bluetooth MIDI. You can jam along with your favorite music, produce new tracks, layer internal synths with soft synths - all without having to connect a single cable.
