Roland Discontinues the Jupiter-80 and Jupiter-50 Ahead of NAMM 2018

Not sure when this happened, but it appears the Roland Jupiter-80 and Jupiter-50 have been discontinued. Atomic Shadow wrote in to let me know he noticed that they were missing from Roland's current product line-up. I did a quick search, and sure enough I found the old pages with them listed as discontinued, as you can see in the images to the left.

You can find the pages here: Jupiter-80 | Jupiter-50. It's worth noting the rackmount Integra-7 has not been discontinued.

The news makes me wonder what Roland might be introducing at NAMM this year. Roland isn't big on mkII models, so I would expect something relatively new to cover the space they left, if anything at all. It will be interesting to see what they follow up with.

"This patch was created using the monome grid and kria app to sequence a series of oscillators.

One channel was routed through Shifty to spread the sequence across an Intellijel Dixie 2 and a Mutable tides in VCO mode. Another channel sequenced Rings at a 1/2 speed rate."
