Roland Jupiter-8

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

Introduced in 1981, its eight voices each feature two oscillators, cross-modulation, and the legendary IR3109 filter chips, creating pads so lush they border on spiritual experiences. Concrete data: mint units now command over $30,000, a price 50% higher than the Prophet-5's peak. This flagship was a direct assault on the OB-Xa and Prophet-5, proving that true beauty costs a fortune.
