As a beat maker and music producer, I'm always on the lookout for new gear that can enhance my sound and take my beats to the next level. That's why I was hyped to get my hands on the Roland Jupiter-50 Performance Synthesizer, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint.

You can easily choose, stack and edit any combination of four tones to create custom Live Sets, making it perfect for live performers.

But it's not just for live performers. For synth lovers, you get over 1,500 SuperNATURAL synthesizer tones to choose from, including classic analog sounds and digital sounds from iconic synths like the Roland SH and JUPITER brass, D-50, JD-800, and Fantom. Combine them with the SuperNATURAL acoustic instruments to create your own expressive, modern sounds.

One of the coolest features of the Jupiter-50 is the ability to import Live Sets from the flagship JUPITER-80 via USB flash memory. This means you get all the supreme sound quality of the JUPITER-80 in a more portable package that's perfect for the travelling beat maker.
