"Includes free Jupiter 8! :o)
Hello classic synth fans. I’m auctioning my amazing Roland Jupiter 8 synth.
This is one of those rare combinations of a solid financial investment, and a really impressive musical instrument. These are already incredibly rare - only 2000 were ever made, and who knows how many of those are still alive today. They’re rare and can’t be imitated, so they’ll only become more valuable over time. But while it’s appreciating in value, you'll be playing one of the all time classics!
The Jupiter 8 has a truly unique sound, no digital imitation comes close to reproducing the sound or the experience of playing these beasts.
I’ll stop gushing about it now, I assume you already have an appreciation for Roland Corporation’s flagship synth.
Serial number 202242, 14-bit D/A converter.
Here’s what is included:
The original Operators’ Manual in mint condition. It even smells kind of nice...
A scanned PDF of the original Service Manual, 60 pages. This features full specifications, parts lists, every technical detail you could want.
A scanned PDF of the original factory patch sheets, 65 pages. This shows you the physical settings that each patch uses, a brief description of each sound, and suggested playing styles.
Kid Nepro’s 64 custom patch presets, as well as other patch presets in the form of WAV files and PDF instructions.
Here’s what is not included:
The onboard battery that holds the patch settings while the JP-8 is off, has gone flat. This is a common issue, and replacement batteries are readily available off the shelf. However replacing it does require a spot of soldering.
It pre-dates MIDI, and has not been retrofitted. I understand that’s a fairly simple exercise though.
This model doesn’t have the DCB module.
It’s missing one of its four rubber stopper feet underneath. I can’t explain that, to be honest.
Delivery cost will be in addition to the buyer’s bid, and will be at the buyer’s expense. The ad says free postage but that is incorrect. Jupiter 8’s are quite substantial, I’ll work with the successful bidder to organise shipping by whatever method is desired.
This is a rare investment opportunity, and it will definitely sell at this price. Don't let it slip through your fingers. I realise it's a lot of cash - just check in with any questions you might have, and I'll do my best to respond quickly.
Good luck!"
