Roland Jupiter-8

Many call it the most beautiful synth ever. Mint units: $30,000+.

Roland's flagship analog polysynth from 1981 was a direct assault on the Prophet-5 and OB-Xa, and many producers consider it the most beautiful-sounding synthesizer ever made. Eight voices, two oscillators per voice, cross-modulation, and Roland's legendary IR3109 filter chips produce pads so lush they border on spiritual experiences. Duran Duran, Howard Jones, Tangerine Dream, and Underworld all used it extensively. Mint units now command $30,000+.
