street priceIf Jupiter-80 seems to be unaffordably ponderous anyway - weight, price, and richness of functions, the full research of which requires more than one week, Roland Corporation offers to opt for Jupiter-50. This is a performing instrument that is focused on stage use even more than its elder brother is, who actually has the same essential specification. Jupiter-80 is lighter and more compact featuring the same 6-octave keyboard, its polyphony is reduced, but still offers 128 notes which is pretty much enough, and it allows real-time operation with three sound layers, while Jupiter- 80 managed 4 layers at once. Among other differences there’s reduced filter functionality, less user arpeggio styles, a small monochrome screen, and no digital audio output.

Should we buy a new one or a second hand unit will serve us well? Here we’ll talk about a never-ending dilemma, designs and pricing, the reasons of purchasing an old instrument or a new one straight after being assembled. We’ll analyze it while having a close up on the Japanese synthesizers (and an English one).
