The JUPITER-80 is Roland’s agship synthesizer, delivering powerful, SuperNATURAL sounds and stunning realtime performance. It includes
numerous cutting-edge SuperNATURAL sounds generated by Behavior Modeling Technology, bringing you unprecedentedly natural and rich
expressive possibilities.
What are SuperNATURAL Tones?
Taking advantage of Behavior Modeling Technology, SuperNATURAL is Roland’s exclusive sound set
that achieves a new level of realism and expression that were dicult to realize with previous sound
generators.
Behavior Modeling Technology
Not only physical modeling of the instruments, Roland takes it a step further by modeling the instrument’s distinctive behavior that responds
to how the performer plays, resulting in true-to-life, expressive sounds in realtime.
A world of new sounds possible only with SuperNATURAL
Numerous peerless and powerful SuperNATURAL sounds are built in
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tones
The JUPITER-80 provides SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tones, which reproduce not merely the sound
of acoustic instruments, but also their performance expression.
A dedicated sound generator suitable for each tone automatically analyzes dierences in the
phrases, chords, and melodies played by the musician.
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tones represent a completely new sound-generating technology, one
which not only reproduces the sounds of acoustic instruments, but also uses Behavior Modeling
Technology to model the way in which each instrument uniquely responds to the performance
expression of the player.
In contrast to the old method of seeking realism merely in the sound’s waveform, this is a major
advance which models the details of how the sound of each individual instrument responds to
the performer’s playing.
While previous physical modeling sound generators model the structure of an instrument
(such as the shape of its resonator, the length of the tube, and the material of the vibrating
parts), Behavior Modeling Technology additionally models the response and movement of each
specic instrument as it reacts to performance techniques such as trills, portamento, vibrato, and
dynamics.
This goes beyond mere reproduction of the sound—it makes it possible for the expressions and
movements distinctive of an instrument to be expressed on a synthesizer.
For example, the SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tone “Violin” lets you obtain—by playing the
keyboard—an expressive solo violin sound that’s so realistic, you might think a violinist is actually
playing it.
You can also use the pitch bend and modulation lever and the assignable buttons ([S1], [S2]) to
freely reproduce the richly expressive performances that are distinctive of acoustic instruments.
SuperNATURAL Synth Tones
The JUPITER-80 features SuperNATURAL Synth Tones, which realistically deliver everything from
vintage analog synths to digital synths.
The distinctive behavior of an analog synth’s oscillators and lters has been analyzed in order to
reproduce their unique sound.
Each Synth Tone provides three sets of OSC, FILTER, AMP, and LFO, allowing powerful synthesis to
be accomplished using just a single tone. The oscillators oer not only analog waveforms based
on vintage synths, but also give you a choice of PCM waveforms containing distinctive digital
synth sounds. Full-screen graphics allow you to intuitively create any type of synth sound, from
analog to digital.
