Fresh off the bench, this Jupiter has just been given a full clean bill of health.arrived in bad shape, badly corroded control panel and dead voices. An extensive amount of work has been carried out:Replaced control panel and bender/modulation board panel, Full recap, and extensive PSU rebuild. Re-CalibratedFresh Battery and factory presets loaded.All panel controls cleaned and lubricatedKeybed stripped and cleanedThis is a serious power house of a synth, I'm sure I don't need to describe it to you since you have no business buying one if you do not know what you are looking at.
That said, vintagesynth.com blurb follows.Cosmetic condition is great, a couple of minor scratches but nothing that stands out, it's really in lovely condition and you'll be proud to show it off to your jealous friends. Look through the pictures, nothing is hidden.

All of the Jupiters have a sound that was unlike any other synthesizer and the Jup 6 is no exception. This sound is due in part to classic analog Roland technology in its filters, modulation capabilities and a thick cluster of 12 analog oscillators at 2 per voice. Easy and intuitive programming via front panel sliders, knobs and buttons for all your tweaking needs.The Jup 6 is a scaled down version of the in terms of programming and polyphony. However the Jup 6 has some major improvements of its own such as newly added MIDI control and better tuning stability! While the Jup 6 does have MIDI, the implementation is very rudimentary and hard to control. The Jup 6 was one of the very first (along with the Sequential ) synths to use the then new MIDI protocol, and the implementation on the Jup 6 is far from complete. offers the Europa firmware upgrade for the Jupiter-6 which gives it an up-to-date and comprehensive MIDI implementation. All parameters are controllable via Continuous Controller or SysEx. Europa also features an extensive arpeggiator which will sync to MIDI clock with programmable clock divisors and rhythms, and has about 50 more playback variations than the JP-6's original Up, Down, Up/Down, and Down/Up. A Europacized Jupiter-6 is a thoroughly modern synth with a classic sound.The Jupiter-6 is an excellent for ambient drones, pads, blips, buzzes and leads. The Jupiter-6 is known for being a very reliable, programmable, polyphonic, analog monster of a synthesizer! It is used by Orbital, Moby, Überzone, Devo, BT, The Prodigy, Vangelis, The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, ZZ Top, Duran Duran, Moog Cookbook, and Blur.
