WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. This JP-6 came to us from a reputable synth collector and is in fantastic working condition. The CEM chips exhibit that great dystopian sound that only a Jupiter-6 can emit. The Arpeggio function works perfectly, and the keyboard feels great. This is a prime example of a synthesizer that has a sound all its own. 

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent.  The entire form factor is still in incredible condition with only a scrape on the very back edge of the right metal side panel and few abrasions on the back panel. Very clean throughout. The metal chassis, keys, and all sliders are in top form. This is a true collector's example in every sense.

INVENTORY #59319

BRAND: Roland 

MODEL: JP-6 Jupiter-6

FUNCTION: Keyboard Synthesizer

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a 1983 Roland Jupiter-6 Polyphonic Keyboard Synthesizer. The Roland Jupiter-6 is a legendary 6-voice polyphonic, 12-oscillator analog subtractive synthesizer first introduced by the Roland Corporation in January 1983. Originally designed as a more affordable, stable alternative to the flagship Jupiter-8, it carved out its own unique sonic legacy and became a pioneer as one of the first synthesizers equipped with a native MIDI interface.

SPECS:

• Serial # 343465
• Date of Production: August, 1983
• Voice Architecture: 6-voice polyphony featuring two Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) per voice (12 oscillators total) utilizing highly stable CEM 3340 chips.
• Waveform Flexibility: Allows simultaneous selection of multiple waveforms per oscillator (sawtooth, triangle, square/pulse, and noise)—a versatile layout not even found on the Jupiter-8.
• Multimode VCF: Equipped with a resonant analog filter capable of low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass settings. 
• Performance Control: Features a 61-note keyboard, a versatile built-in arpeggiator, patch memory (48 tones, 32 patches), and dual LFOs.
• Voice Assignment Modes: Supports "Whole Mode" for a massive 6-voice single sound, "Unison Mode" to stack all 12 oscillators on one note, and a bi-timbral "Split Mode" to play two separate sounds at once.
