Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter

The Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter is a rack-mounted synthesizer module released in 1984 by Roland. It is basically a rack-mounted version of synths from the Roland Jupiter series, like the Jupiter-6 and Jupiter-8, with 8-voice polyphony, analogue VCO's, VCA's and filters.

Tony Banks first got an MKS-80 Super Jupiter around the time of recording the Invisible Touch album in 1985/86, and also had it on tour with the Roland MKS-20 Digital Piano.

Quotes on the Roland MKS-80 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.'"
