ummm.. it seems a new version of the old Jupiter...
http://de.engadget.com/2011/04/03/musik … r-80-video
of course will be very cheap 
what vile horror has appeared before my eyes?
the supposed price of $3000 - $4000 USD is NOT cheap.
I shall call it the "Rainbow Jupiter"!
That's just sad.
Roland what have you done?
The same Roland has done the past 15 years.... Fucking up their old designs and making shit products.
You guys need to give this beast a chance before you bash it. I hear it does an amazing stand-up bass sound, which I'm sure you're aware is what makes the original Jupiters so revered. I mean, there would be no point in calling this a Jupiter if it didn't do a cracking stand-up bass. Right? Plus it looks like they put an ashtray on the top left of the panel right below where it says Roland. FINALLY someone gets it right.
And did you not see the effects section on the right of the front panel?? The reverb can be turned On or Off! SICK!!
OOF! endorsed By Howard Jones.. Terror...
Its a mixed up product for sure. What we want is a decent synth not a plugin in a big box. Tisk... I can hear 1001 hip hop producers reaching for their credit cards.. :\
How can we sell more V-synths??? Put it in a box with buttons that look like one of the classics from our glorious past and brand it like the second comming of jesus... If i could get my hands on Rolands head of marketing and the head of RD, I would give them a serious bashing...
it will sell well, roland will cash in, it will conitnue
No no no no no! Guys you just don't got the original philosophy. 
You have to pass the first 25 seconds - then it's in english. And yes - this german guy is very annoying - but, but he was in the studio with Snap!, back in the days 
It's got the power
roland: just stop it. its enough now.

Secondet....
Some on should start an internet signup group to make Roland stop destroying their legacy..
BUT ROBOTS!!!! THERE IS HOPE IN THE WORLD!!!!!

Whats the problem, why does everyone start crying? Anyone heard it? played with it? Why does it look horrible?

PG15+
When even the engineer sales guy has to come up with some cockeyed excuse to why we should think that one fuck up on top of a lucky fuck up, that ended up making one of the top 5 greatest polys ever made, should make this a good product, just goes to show that people are all ready running like hell from this thing. If the story is true then Roland actually succeeded turning water into wine with the J8, but why then go back and try to fix what was better as a mistake???. Why the fuck didn't they take the old one and build on it's strengths. Like they Dave Smith did with his P8. Sure the P8 has had problems but it builds and expands on a great synth and tries to carry the torch further. The J80 most likely sucks just as much fat dinner band drummercock as the whole Juno relaunch series, and i hate the fact that Roland seem to have pointed all the fans at their golden age products and keep throwing diarrhea at them.
Granted the looks aren't bad, but the concept stinks to high heaven....

Seriously though, some of the sounds (in other videos) are pretty impressive. Seems like an improved V-Synth. It's just an easy target because Roland is using the "Jupiter" name. I'm sure no one here expected Roland to roll out a new analog super synth.

Oh come on, this is easy: WHERE ARE ALL THE FUCKING KNOBS AND SLIDERS?
How can you call something a performance instrument when you have to spend 6 months learning the user interface then go menu diving in the jungle of Roland's UI just to tweak any parameters.
The v-synth has a decent engine and is respected by many, but it also has twice as many front panel controls. For this kind of money, you should get more usability and less nostalgia.
If the Jupiter line is supposed to be the deluxe, top-level synth, then where are the absolute deluxe features? What makes this stand out from anything else these days, let alone from Roland's own product line?
Maybe it seem deluxe compared to the Juno-G lol
It's like the new VW Scirocco... doesn't even look remotely close to the old models, but they chose the name because they thought it would be good promo...

If i had been at that show I would have picked up the dam thing and used it beating that guy to death!!!! 
What's the obsession with the d-beam?
Omitting the D-Beam Controller would mean Roland confesses that it's useless... so I guess it's here to stay
