Features and architecture

The Jupiter-80 maintains the visual style of the Jupiter-8, and includes Roland's SuperNATURAL, an extensive synthesis engine that includes virtual analog synthesis, which is digital recreation of earlier Roland analog synths, along with PCM-based recreations of purely digital synths by the company and acoustic modelling of real instruments. Emulations of the original Jupiter-8 sounds were later released as a software instrument for both keyboards on Roland Axial as part of the Synth Legends series.[4][5][6]

The Jupiter utilizes MIDI control, D Beam Control, and Audio File format of WAV, AIFF, and MP3. The synthesizer's memory is external, by way of USB Flash.
