In 1978, when polysynths were the hot new thing, the Jupiter-4 put Roland on the map as a top synth maker. Since then, synthesizers bearing the Jupiter badge have proudly represented Roland’s premier sound technologies and keyboard actions. We’re excited to present to you the Jupiter-X Synthesizer, which incorporates classic Roland design and tour-tough build quality with the beastly new ZEN-Core synth engine. The Jupiter-X meticulously re-creates coveted instruments from Roland’s vaunted legacy of genre-defining synths, while blazing new synthesis frontiers. Featuring multiple layers, massive polyphony, and deep hands-on control, the Jupiter-X gives you the power to effortlessly craft and deploy huge, evolving soundscapes with warmth, punch, and shimmer.
Next generation of a Roland synth icon
The Jupiter-X is the pinnacle of Roland sound design and build quality. Its all-metal chassis uses premium materials throughout, and the all-new aftertouch-enabled 61-note keyboard is the finest the company has ever made. Whether you’re performing onstage or recording in the studio, Jupiter-X puts you in an ergonomic cockpit equipped with the real-time controls you need to dive in and quickly shape world-class sounds.
Classic analog to vintage digital — and beyond
Jupiter-X is equipped with Roland’s latest cutting-edge sound engine, which not only can reproduce sought-after analog classics such as the Jupiter-8, Juno-106, and SH-101; but also vintage digital synths like the XV-5080 and today’s RD pianos. Also onboard: 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-X is like a studio packed with vintage gear — but with modern capabilities and a deep, powerful synthesis engine that opens the portals to new sonic worlds.
I-Arpeggio: instant inspiration
Whether you’re backing a singer or scoring to picture, you’re familiar with working under pressure. You’re often in the position of having to produce something amazing — quickly. Say hello to your new best friend: Jupiter-X. It’s equipped with Roland’s next-gen I-Arpeggio, which uses artificial intelligence not only to accompany you — but to spark your creativity. I-Arpeggio takes in your notes, rhythms, and phrases, and outputs perfect drum parts, bass lines, chords, and arpeggiated figures. This intelligent arpeggiator works simultaneously on each of Jupiter-X’s five parts, and you can customize the generated patterns and export them to your DAW via USB. Note that these are not backing tracks: they are intelligently generated beats and phrases that flesh out your live performance and obliterate writer’s block — a welcome feature if you’re looking to define your own unique voice as an artist!
Zero in on the perfect settings
In addition to its informative LCD display, Jupiter-X is equipped with an impressive array of knobs, faders, and buttons that invite the immediacy of hands-on control. These robust controls feel smooth and precise for confident real-time sweeps, subtle or bold.

What Roland Says…

This musical powerhouse faithfully recreates sought-after instruments from our long, genre-defining history and delivers the tools you need to craft the sounds of tomorrow.

It’s like a studio full of vintage gear fused with modern capabilities and a deep synth engine, ready for exploring familiar genres or unmapped sonic territory.
Intelligent. Inspiring.
Need something wonderful, fast? JUPITER-X’s I-Arpeggio is a next-generation arpeggiator that uses artificial intelligence to not just accompany you, but to inspire you. I-Arpeggio takes your input—notes, rhythms, phrases—and creates complementary drum parts, bass lines, chords, and arpeggiated lines. It works on each of JUPITER-X’s five parts simultaneously, and generated patterns can be customized and even exported to your DAW. These aren’t canned backing tracks—they’re intelligently generated beats and phrases that energize live performance and pulverize writer’s block.
Find the sweet spots.

This kind of natural, hands-on control gives you the feeling of reaching in and touching the sound, shaping it to find just the right settings for the moments.
The power of polyphony.
JUPITER-X can layer up to five parts—four for synths and one for drums. Its engine can power multiple authentic Roland classics like the JX-8P or JUPITER-8 with enough polyphony to create thick layers and complex backing parts. Create the perfect bass and lead split with an SH-101 and JUNO-106, layer a rich RD piano with lush JX-8P strings, or make a monster stack with multiple JUPITER-8 synths.

Software, however, offers a spacious interface for detailed editing, integration with your DAW, and the ability to create anywhere.
