 Make Roland
 Model MKS-80 Super Jupiter, MPG-80 & M64C
 Description MKS-80 (Rev5) Super Jupiter & MPG-80 controller & M64-C cartridge

CONDITION: .. Minor rack rash - cosmetic condition as shown in pictures. Very tidy - camera shows every speck of dust Front panel Excellent No rack ears Sounds great. Clean outputs. No known technical faults - all voices functioning, one or two are slightly louder than others. Voices will require calibration to achieve optimum output.

MPG-80 Fully functional Some minor blemishes, per pictures No rack ears No known technical faults All pots and switches tested & generate output to the MKS-80. Not sure if Patch Manual, Tone Manual and Split point buttons are meant to be LED-lit (I acquired the unit without these being LED-lit) Supplied with controller cable & a spare (these are not MIDI cables)

M64-C Excellent almost as new condition Original box, instructions and original date sticker Likely requires fresh battery (not installed as would require removal of original sticker)

The Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter is a 2 space 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. Very fat and very analog. It is the only one of the MKS series of synthesizers to have fully analog voltage-controlled oscillators. The voice architecture is almost identical to the Jupiter-6 synthesizer. The unit is capable of producing most of the Jupiter-8's signature sounds, in addition to many sounds unique to the MKS-80. In it's filters, modulation capabilities and a thick cluster of 16 analog oscillators at 2 per voice. Tons of editing capabilities, although editing is tedious. With the MPG-80's traditional slider control more easier to editing the MKS-80. An excellent choice for ambient drones, pads, blips, buzzes and leads. It is used by Vince Clarke, Vangelis, Moby, Prodigy, ZZ Top, Blur, Pet Shop Boys etc
