Beautiful MKS-80 Rev 5! You should know what this is but I added the wiki description at the very end in case you don’t. Lots of fun debate about the sound of Rev 4 vs Rev 5 so I have included a video of this unit so you can hear how it sounds for yourself below. 😊
About this exact unit:
This is a BEAUTIFUL MKS-80 with a custom “Jupiter Blue” OLED display! You don’t see them like this very often.
Everything works as it should. (Please see video demo below but mind your ears!) I am including the rack mounts for free but will reduce cost by $30 if you don’t want them. Of course this legendary 1980’s synth has the complimentary “rack rash” but very minimal as you can see. (I over exaggerated the lighting a bit to show surface scratch in detail but in normal studio lighting and racked, it looks absolutely stunning.) See last set of photos for a more flattering reference / nothing but full transparency here :)
Bonus!! I will send this with whichever patches you want preinstalled From the list below, just let me know:
- Original MKS-80 patches A
- Original MKS -80 alternate patches B
- Random mystery patches
I am pricing this to sell for the lucky buyer.
About Wiki:
The Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter is a rack mount sound module version of the Roland Jupiter-6 and the Roland Jupiter-8 synthesizers. It is an 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer that was manufactured by Roland between 1984 and 1987. It is the only one of the MKS series of synthesizers to have analogue voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) instead of analogue digitally-controlled oscillators (DCOs). The voice architecture is almost identical to the Jupiter-6 synthesizer. The service manual states that "The module board of MKS-80 features the following in addition to that of JP-6, its brother module. 1) HPF. 2) Low boost circuit in the 2nd VCA. 3) DC supply current boost circuit (IC50)."
