Imagine packing the soul of Roland's legendary Jupiter-8 or Juno-106 into a synth that fits in your backpack, ready to spark ideas anywhere.
Powered by the ZEN-Core engine, it delivers over 4,000 preset tones with up to 256-voice polyphony across five parts—four for synths and one for drums—letting you stack lush JX-8P strings over SH-101 bass without note dropout. The 37 slim velocity-sensitive keys feel responsive for its compact 576 x 308 x 93mm frame, paired with a pitch bend wheel, mod wheel, two assignable sliders, three switches, and a clear 128 x 64 graphic LCD for hands-on tweaking. Built-in 4W speakers with full-range drivers and tweeters mean instant playback, while Bluetooth 4.2 streams audio or MIDI wirelessly; stereo audio ins/outs, dual headphone jacks, MIDI I/O, USB, and battery power (eight AA Ni-MH) keep it versatile for stage or studio. I-Arpeggio handles multi-part patterns with play detection, and effects like 90 multi-FX types, reverb, chorus, delay, overdrive, and EQ polish every layer.
Players love its authentic Roland recreations and portability for live jams or travel, though some note the mini keys take adjustment if you're used to full-size action.
