If you wan't tons of amazing sounds you can play out with, then look no farther - the Roland Jupiter-50 is it! In all, the portable Jupiter-50 gives you over 1,500 SuperNATURAL synth tones and 70 SuperNATURAL acoustic sounds - all of which you can combine in unique and creative ways. What's more, Roland's Behavior Modeling adds extra realism to your acoustic sounds, interpreting your keyboard performances and recreating the unique musical nuances of each modeled instrument. Whether you play out live or compose in a studio, you'll always find the sounds you need in your Jupiter-50.

Beyond its treasure trove of wonderful sounds, the Jupiter-50 keyboard gives you a massive selection of sound-design tools that make creating original sounds of your own fun and easy. First, Roland gave the Jupiter-50 a powerful "Live Set" central arrangement, which lets you select, layer, and edit up to four tones at a time. The Jupiter-50's color-coded front-panel controls, fast-access buttons, and long-throw sliders all make tweaking parameters within your tones incredibly simple. Add to all of this a professional-grade multi-effects engine with advanced routing, and you'll be blown away by the sounds you can create with your Jupiter-50 keyboard.

Weighing in well under 25 lbs., the 76-key Jupiter-50 is easily one of the lightest pro-quality keyboards out there. Its 76-note keybed comes perfectly weighted for playing the widest possible range of instrument sounds, complete with the note-for-note expression you demand. In addition to making it easy to transfer sounds to and from your Jupiter-80, the Jupiter-50's USB thumb drive port also lets you play along with WAV, AIFF, or MP3 file backing tracks. And when you're in your studio, USB connectivity also lets you integrate your Jupiter-50 keyboard with your DAW software.
