Roland unveils a new Jupiter-8-inspired Boutique synth in celebration of the original's 45th birthday - and drops an all-new wavetable synth too

Key Points:

• Roland has announced two new synthesizers in its Boutique series: the Jupiter-08, a 32-voice digital recreation of the classic Jupiter-8, and the N/vision, the first wavetable synth in the range.
• The Jupiter-08 celebrates the Jupiter-8’s 45th anniversary, featuring an eight-voice/two-part architecture with Roland's ABM (Analogue Behaviour Modelling) technology, expandable polyphony up to 32 voices, and a control panel closely resembling the original.
• The N/vision offers 63 factory wavetables, dual-layer blending, a waveshaper for harmonic enhancement, and an analogue-modelled filter with vintage-inspired modes, designed for dynamic sound creation including pads, leads, and complex timbres.
• Both synths include a two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer and arpeggiator, a range of digital effects, battery power with built-in speakers, and connectivity options such as 3.5mm headphone output, MIDI In/Out, USB-C, and a velocity-sensitive 25-key detachable keyboard.
• Unlike previous Boutique models, the Jupiter-08 and N/vision cannot be purchased without the included K-25m keyboard, emphasizing portability and playability in the compact design.
