Every couple of months, something
wonderful happens here in my office:
manufacturers send their new gear for review
in SweetNotes. I suffer terribly with all of that
gear cluttering things up around here… nah,
it’s a blast!
This issue was particularly fun because it
made me take a serious look at my studio.
I have a nice project studio, and I enjoy
using it for a variety of projects. But for this
issue, I received several products that were eye openers,
particularly the PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 (pg. 9).
Combine it with Reason 6 (pg. 8), Pro Tools 9, PreSonus’s
own Studio One, or any other DAW and a laptop, and
you’ve got a rocking rig — plus you can use the mixer at
your gigs. Add a Miktek C7 (pg. 10), an Aphex Channel (pg. 11), and a Roland Jupiter-80 (see below),
and you’ve got a studio of epic proportions.
If you’re still using older gear, that’s great! But take a moment to scope out Sweetwater.com or our
ProGear gear encyclopedia. The new tools available are less expensive, easier to use, and way more
powerful than you can imagine. It’s a great time to make music!

One of the hottest and most talked about products on the market today is the Roland Jupiter-80.
This is not a re-creation of the ‘80s Jupiter-8, although it does pay homage to its predecessor
with road-proven hardware and massive sound. This is a modern synth that features Roland’s
SuperNATURAL synthesis engine. The SuperNATURAL engine is designed to re-create legendary
vintage synth sounds and amazingly realistic organic acoustic sounds.
The Roland Jupiter-80 is an envelope-pushing synth with three separately programmable sound
chains. Each sound chain has a filter, an oscillator, an LFO, and an amp, and you can combine up to
nine sound chains for an amazing 27 oscillators — at once! Each oscillator can utilize one of seven
vintage waveforms or one of over 350 PCM waveforms for unlimited tone-shaping combinations.
The Jupiter-80 supports up to 256 polyphonic voices depending on the sound load. Also featured is
an extremely powerful arpeggiator with 128 factory presets and another 128 presets that are user
definable. And musicians will love that this board includes Roland’s famous SuperNATURAL pianos,
brass, strings, and more.
The Jupiter-80 was designed and laid out for live performance. A large LCD screen makes
navigating the functions of the Jupiter-80 a breeze. After you have designed your own patches, you
can save them as “Live Sets.” A Live Set can stack up
to four sounds, each with its own DSP, effects group,
and level control!
There are a number of assignable knobs and buttons on the Jupiter-80, so you can create a custom
layout. Roland’s D Beam controller can be assigned to control parameters for a more dynamic
performance. Control volume, Leslie speed, modulation depth, and more, all with your hand.
The USB port built into the Jupiter-80 allows you to easily record your creative musical ideas. It
can also be used to provide backing tracks to play along with. Plus, you can save your Jupiter-80
settings to a USB key for recall and backup. Plug the keyboard into your computer and record
directly to your DAW via USB MIDI.
Roland’s Jupiter-80 features hundreds of amazing presets, a 76-key semi-weighted synth keyboard,
stellar effects, cool arpeggiators, ultra-realistic
SuperNATURAL instruments and sounds, and much
more. Great in the studio or live onstage, the Roland
Jupiter-80 is a force to be reckoned with.
