Roland MKS-20 Digital Piano

The Roland MKS-20 Super Jupiter is a digital rack-mounted piano sound module, released in 1986. Sounds stored included grand piano, electric piano, harpsichord, vibraphone and clavinet.

Tony Banks was using this module for keyboard sounds from 1986 (starting from the Invisible Touch tour, alongside the Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter) until around 1992. He liked some of the sounds on it, even though he had a Yamaha CP-70 electric grand. For example, the Fender Rhodes-type sound on "I Can't Dance" and the 'frantic' piano part on "Diamonds Are Forever".

Quotes on the Roland MKS-20 Super Jupiter
"'I use a Roland Super Jupiter, as it's got a better bottom end than the Prophet. There was only 'analogue' for such a long time, and some of those sounds have stayed with me. Even with digital machines I tend to make them sound like my old analogue synths.'"
