The MKS-80 is basically a refined Jupiter 8 in a module. It is called the Super Jupiter and it is very fat and very analog! Its great sound is due in part to the classic analog Roland technology in its filters, modulation capabilities and a thick cluster of 16 analog oscillators at 2 per voice. It comes in a 2 space rack-module - no keyboard here. Tons of editing capabilities, although editing is tedious. It's got all the classic sounds of the Jupiter synths and so much more. An excellent choice for ambient drones, pads, blips, buzzes and leads.! It is used by Hardfloor, Astral Projection, Vince Clarke, Vangelis, Pet Shop Boys, and Snap. Use the MPG-80 for easier and more traditional slider control when editing the MKS-80.

Dear all,

I have just completed a Software controller & programmer for the mks80 and looking for beta testers.
The controller runs smooth and passed QA, still more users feedback is needed...

Current features:
* runs on PC only, not Mac.
* stand alone, no dependency on DAW (this means it can send sysex and midi even from ableton live...)
* identical graphical layout as the MPG80
* free of charge

If interested, please send private email for a copy.

Thanks !
