The Jupiter-8, or JP-8, is an eight-voice polyphonic analog subtractive synthesizer introduced by Roland Corporation in early 1981. The Jupiter-8 was Roland's flagship synthesizer for the first half of the 1980s. Although it lacked the soon-to-be standard of MIDI control, later model Jupiter-8s did include Roland's proprietary DCB interface. The Jupiter-8 had many advanced features for its time, including the ability to split the keyboard into two zones with a separate patch active on each zone even its limited voices but at the time most of the synths used to have monophonic so this synth is legendary because of the number of voices he had. This synth used on Michael Jackson - Thriller as the Saw stab/lead that showed the capabilities of the Jupiter 8. Also BTW this is my first ever model so yay
