The Super Jupiter is Roland's attempt to drag the Jupiter synths screaming into the 90's - and squeeze them into a studio rack. Due to its 19 inch size, the Super Jupiter certainly looks humble when compared with the huge Jupiter 8 - but it still makes the same warm and wild sound as its older brother.
As a healthy bonus, the MKS-80 also features MIDI and both velocity and pressure sensitivity, all of which the Jupiter 8 was sadly lacking.
And should you miss all those knobs, buttons and sliders, there is the additional MPG-80 Super Jupiter Programmer unit.
Even though its fairly high price tag, I believe that the Super Jupiter is worth every penny. If you ever need those abstract and crisp synthetic sounds, the Super Jupiter will be there to deliver them.
