ROLAND JUPITER 4 ANALOG POLYPHONIC SYNTH

via this auction
"This is a beautiful example of a Jupiter 4, maybe rolands finest sounding polyphonic synth. Its called jupiter however sonically it is more like a polyphonic early sh-synth, which means it sounds more '70s than '80's in a way. Although its only 4 voice each one is super fat so playing a three note chord with a bass note is highly rewarding. I am told the envelopes on this beast are some of the fastest in a roland synth and it seems to be true, percussive sounds basses are very easy to make and with the fast lfo you can create all kinds of ring-mod type sound effects. I am sad to sell this synth it is a truly unique beast and would never quite be replaced by any of my other analogs but financial circumstances force it. I think anyone who is a fan of '70s or early '80's electronica would love this machine. I could site many famous users but here is a good (although poorly recorded) example of what can be done with just a jupiter 4 and a tr-808"
