The jupiter x can morph into all sorts of legendary synthesizers like the jupiter 8 juno 106 and sh 101.
Roland system 8 vs jupiter xm.
But it can also be a digital piano or a workstation synth like the xv 5080.
Like you have the system 8 with all these modeling abilities but then you release the jupiter x which is going to model the same keyboards on the system 8 with apparently a stronger synth engine so it just makes owning a system 8 pointless unless you just want a cloud controller.
Sounds of the jupiter xm.
System 8 is sort of a sound design king with it s well designed ui but as someone here said if you like that wide analog stereo sound it like other classic polys jupiter 8 ob 8 it s limited to 4 notes.
When it comes to vintage and classic poly synths there really are only a handful of products which have become the sought after synths of dreams largely due to the way both time and the marketplace have treated their legacy.
The instrument s sound engine is digital of course.
I don t know man roland seems to always step on their own foot when they release products.
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 s8 has a silky smooth sound and filter like the jupiter 8.
I was nowhere close with my guess.
When i saw jupiter x i thought it was going to be a 1 1 acb replica of the jupiter 8 like the system 8 engine and the xm was a desktop rack version and in a priced reduced synth to the system 8 for those only interested in jupiter 8 sound look.
In this video david åhlund introduces the roland jupiter xm with an overview of its design a demonstration of the model banks that include juno 106 jupiter 8 jx 8p a polyphonic sh 101 xv 5080 rd piano and more.
There s no mention of plug out technology so i have to assume that the zen core can run all of roland s synth models without any of that messing about.
Realtime playing no overdubs recorded straight t.
More precisely it s zen core with various model sound generators.
