Powerful Live Sets with SuperNATURAL x 4

The JUPITER-80 can handle up to four SuperNATURAL tones layered as a “Live Set,” letting you

perform with awesome and richly expressive sounds.
In addition, you can assign Live Sets to the Upper and Lower Parts to create splits and layers,

making it easy to construct rich-sounding stacks that were difficult to obtain on a single

conventional synthesizer.

Four-part Registrations for Extensive Performance Potential

In addition to the Upper Part and Lower Part that are the core of your performance, the

JUPITER-80 provides a Solo Part that lets you play a melody or solo on the top note, and a

Percussion Part that spices up your performance.
All of these together can be instantly called up by pressing a Registration button.

Powerful Sound with a Full Selection of Effects

A Live Set contains four multi-effects (MFX) processors in parallel, each giving you a choice of 76

types of effects that range from standard sounds to effects that powerfully transform your sound.

In addition to this, the Live Set also provides a reverb processor.
By using the Upper Part and Lower Part simultaneously, you can create powerful sounds that use

up to eight effects and two reverbs simultaneously.
The Solo Part and the Percussion Part also have their own independent compressor, EQ, and delay,

and both the Solo Part and Percussion Part also each have their own reverb.

Tone Blender

A Live Set features the new Tone Blender function, which lets you simultaneously control multiple

parameters such as the level, pan, cutoff, and MFX send for each of the four tones.
By using a knob or the D Beam to simultaneously control multiple parameters of four tones in the

Live Set, you can easily generate powerful sonic transformations that were impossible on previous

synthesizers (p. 61).

Controllers Optimized for Live Performance

A color-coded panel layout and full-color TFT touch screen (pressure sensitive) ensure that the

status of the sound is instantly comprehensible.
Dedicated buttons are provided for instant access to the functions you need, guaranteeing

intuitive operation during your live performances. In addition, the JUPITER-80 provides four sliders

with LED meters that allow you to directly adjust each Part’s volume at any time, a modulation

lever for expressive dynamics, [S1] and [S2] buttons for switching between performance

techniques, and a D Beam controller for additional performance possibilities—all focused on

realtime playability.

Sturdy Body and a 76-note Weighted Keyboard

The keyboard is the most important factor in your performance, and the JUPITER-80 provides a

weighted 76-note keyboard that gives you superb playing feel for confident performances on

stage.
Coupled with the sturdy aluminum-paneled body, this is a keyboard that expressively responds to

every nuance of your playing.

USB Audio Player/Recorder

USB MIDI/AUDIO Support

The built-in Audio Recorder provides a great way to capture your phrases and inspirations on a

USB flash drive as audio files (WAV). Of course, audio files (WAV, AIFF, MP3) can also be played back

from your USB flash drive, allowing you to use them as backing tracks for your performance.

The JUPITER-80 also provides a USB MIDI/AUDIO connection to your computer. Even when you’re

in your production studio, you’ll enjoy the same familiar setup as when performing live.
