The Jupiter-4 came out in 1978 and was one of the first polyphonic synthesizers along with the Prophet 5 and the OB-X. Being affordable, he was often found on the coming New Wave music. The Human League, Heaven 17, Duran Duran, Simple Minds and many other groups used the JP4. The sound is very unique and stands out from the big brothers. Wilder, louder, darker. I prefer this sound character over the others.

The demo video shows some special sound characteristics of the first Jupiter synth.
