The layout feels beautifully familiar, but somehow repetitive. It’s of a similar size to the old JP-8000, mainly thanks to the four octaves, rather than the five sported by its Roland-polysynth forerunners. On the one hand, we see a large redesign of the previously seen System 1/1m, fitting into a 49-note keyboard, which clearly has far more fascia real estate to play with than the earlier models, immediately making it more appealing and alluring, but while also keeping a sensible footprint. The new flagship synthesiser from Roland is a delightfully multifaceted affair. Apart from the obvious drum and squelch machines that we’ve seen already, many of us were hoping for some form of reissue of its classic polysynth line, namely the Jupiter and Juno series from the 80s – and just like a London bus, you wish for one, and two come along at once.
