Roland Boutique JUPITER-08 Polyphonic Synthesizer with K-25m

Roland JUPITER-08: The Legendary JUPITER-8 Polysynth in Boutique Form

To mark the 45th anniversary of the JUPITER-8, Roland has created the JUPITER-08, a miniature synthesizer that captures the sound and hands-on feel of the early-’80s classic. Housed in the popular Roland Boutique format, it combines authentic analogue-inspired tone, a colourful control panel based on the original and modern performance tools, all in an instrument compact enough to go anywhere.

The JUPITER-08 is ideal for synth collectors, electronic musicians, producers and performers who want the iconic JUPITER polysynth experience in the studio and on stage.

JUPITER Sound with Modern Enhancements

Built on Roland’s latest technologies, the JUPITER-08 uses refined voice allocation and pitch behaviour to deliver a rich, animated sound with genuine vintage character.

Retro Architecture or 32-Voice Polyphony

Set the JUPITER-08 up with architecture inspired by the original JUPITER-8 for a faithful retro experience, or switch to the new advanced polyphony mode for up to 32 voices to suit modern playing styles and explore completely new tones.

Authentic Vintage Character

Refined pitch fluctuation and other carefully modelled details give the JUPITER-08 the subtle movement and warmth that made the original one of the most revered analogue synthesizers ever made.

Polyphonic Sequencer and Arpeggiator

Build basslines, chord progressions and melodies with the two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer. Each step holds up to eight notes, and motion recording captures your knob and slider movements for evolving, expressive patterns.

Arpeggio and Hold Functions

The built-in arpeggiator turns simple chords into dynamic, rhythmic patterns on the fly, while the Hold function frees your hands for real-time sound shaping during performance.

Expanded Effects Processing

The JUPITER-08 includes 17 MFX types, including the classic Roland stereo chorus, plus dedicated delay and reverb effects for sound shaping and spatial depth.

Five Reverb Types with Shimmer Mode

The dedicated reverb offers five types and a unique shimmer mode that adds an octave-shifted colour to the current reverb, ideal for lush pads and atmospheric textures.

Modern Connectivity for Any Setup

A USB-C audio/MIDI interface connects the JUPITER-08 directly to your computer, while traditional 5-pin MIDI In and Out links it to hardware synths and controllers. An external clock input makes it easy to sync with analogue gear and modular workflows.

Compact Roland Boutique Design

The JUPITER-08 keeps everything players love about the Boutique series: a built-in speaker, flexible power from four AA batteries or USB-C, and a premium build with new silver side panels.

K-25m Keyboard Dock Included

The included K-25m keyboard dock turns the JUPITER-08 into a self-contained mini instrument that’s ready to travel, perfect for desktop setups, mobile rigs and creating music on the move.
