Roland - JUPITER-XM

Description

JUPITER-Xm combines classic Roland design and premium build quality with a powerful new synth engine. It faithfully recreates sought-after instruments from Roland's long history of genre-defining sounds. And with multiple layers, loads of polyphony, and deep hands-on control, you can craft huge, spacious sounds that have as much sparkle as they have warmth and punch.

JUPITER-Xm may redefine what you think a synthesizer can be. It can go just about anywhere, and it doesn't need any cables or wires to function - not even for power. The JUPITER-Xm is an entire electronic production and performance environment that you can put under one arm. Where you take it, is up to you.

Classic analog to vintage digital. And beyond.
JUPITER-Xm is equipped with Roland's latest sound engine, capable of morphing into legendary synths from their long history of genre-defining sounds. It's so flexible that it can reproduce the highly sought-after analog classics like the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, and SH-101, as well as digital machines like the vintage XV-5080 and modern RD pianos. You also get the many Roland drum machines that are the foundation of electronic and dance music like the TR-808, TR-909, CR-78, and more. It's like a studio full of vintage gear, with modern capabilities and a deep synth engine so you can explore unmapped sonic territory.

Intelligent. Inspiring.
Need something wonderful, fast? JUPITER-Xm'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, basslines, chords, and arpeggiated lines. It works on each of JUPITER-Xm'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.

The power of polyphony.
JUPITER-Xm 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 of JUPITER-8s.

The freedom of wireless.
With JUPITER-Xm, you have the freedom to create, perform, and produce without any cables or clutter. It operates for hours on batteries, has powerful room-filling speakers which can also play audio over Bluetooth, and even controls soft synths on computers and iPad with Bluetooth MIDI. You can jam to backing tracks, produce new tracks, mix internal synths with soft synths - and do it all without ever plugging in a single cable.
