Roland Jupiter-Xm - Roland's Microkorg (2024x30)

Air date: Aug 09, 2024

Before Roland was turned into a lifestyle brand our favorite synth manufacturer released instruments that had a profound impact on music history. At the top of this pantheon sits the iconic Jupiter-8, a massive analog synth keyboard sent down to earth in 1981. Today we are going to talk about Jupiter-Xm and it goes without saying that Roland would treat its majestic legacy with utmost respect - just kidding, it’s digital, there’s plenty of menu diving and - of course - minikeys worthy of a Microkorg.
