Roland Jupiter-Xm

Une grande variété de moteurs et de sons. Ce synthé est une vraie sources d'inspirations. De nouveaux moteurs sont prévus, le JD-800 vient de sortir. Il faudra débourser 149$. La qualité étant au rendez vous, ça vaut largement le prix, les sons sont excellents.

Outre les milliers de presets on peut évidement créer ses sons à partir des différents moteurs ou du moteur Zen-Core lui même qui offre de multiples combinaisons. Cependant le faire directement sur le synthé est bien compliqué...

La solution existe puisque Roland vient de sortir un éditeur PC/MAC ! On relie le synthé et il n'y a plus de limite. Les paramètres sont nombreux et cela simplifie grandement aussi la création de scène, la gestion des effets etc.

L'avantage de cette version XM est bien sûr sa mobilité avec même le fonctionnement par piles et des hauts parleurs intégrés de bonnes qualités. Son défaut est un petit clavier, de petites touches plastique. Pas un soucis si on possède déjà un bon clavier auquel on pourra le relier quand on le souhaite.

J'ai longtemps hésité à acheter le System-8. J'ai craqué pour le XM. Excellent rapport qualité/prix !

It's hard to find a better synthesizer from Roland than the Jupiter XM.
Roland put all its soul and passion into this instrument.
Its development was personally guided by the President of the company and you can feel it.
There are several reasons why this synthesizer is one of the best Roland synthesizers ever made:

1. It has a great sound. It sounds clean, clear, rich, and deep. It has a good low end and an open top of the spectrum.

2. It has a great emulation of old analog synths. If you close your eyes, it's easy to mistake whether you're playing analog or digital. But don't forget to turn on the synth “warm-up mode” in the menu and set the virtual age of the instrument to about 50 years.

3. it is excellent made.
Metal body, fantastic encoders, quality keyboard, illuminated buttons. You won't find a synthesizer that is better made.

4. It has an incredible I-Arp.
This arpeggiator adjusts to your playing as if it were playing with you in a live jam session. You change your playing and it immediately changes the accompaniment, adjusting to you.

5. It is very handy and small. And it's comfortable enough to play on its keyboard. You can take it with you wherever you go, because it runs on batteries.

6. It has thousands of sounds from the famous Roland XV-5080. Everything Roland has done over the past decades is now at your fingertips.

7. You can create a finished 5-track song in minutes and it's easier than any workstation.

8. You don't need to depend on Roland Cloud and your computer for thousands of great sounds.
You can have only one this synthesizer and don't depend on anyone, even if the global internet goes down tomorrow.
And at the next 20 years, you'll have thousands of great professional sounds at your fingertips for every style of music.

After years of producing mediocre synthesizers, Roland has finally released a real instrument with a real sound. This gives hope for Roland's rebirth.
