Roland Adds Jupiter-8 and Juno-106 to Synth Subscription Service

Roland has added a pair of classic synth apps to its subscription service, as Synthopia points out. Version 4.0 of the Roland Cloud beta features software versions of the Jupiter-8 (as played by, among others, Giorgio Moroder, pictured above by his pool) and Juno-106. Roland promises that “every sound and performance element … has been recreated with meticulous attention to detail.” Below, revisit the video for Michael Jackson’s Jupiter-8-heavy “Thriller.”
