Brad Kaenel Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 If you need a case for your Jupiter-Xm, this Gator DJ one is perfect: GU-EVA-2314-3 Has egg-crate foam top and bottom, and it's a "hard" case, not a bag.

CyberGene Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I just ordered a Jupiter-Xm. Some pre and post-order rationalizations: - My 5-year old daughter was pretty disappointed that I sold the MODX6, she liked playing with moving patches with sequences and rhythms, so I hope she will like the Jupiter 😀 - Very portable, battery powered, very good speakers - Has very nice Jupiter/Juno sound that seem very hard for me to recreate on my Hydrasynth. I researched on the ASM Facebook and Ken admits the Roland filters are very specific and there are no corresponding filters on the Hydra. - I like it's multitimbral and has a very good sequencer including a drum part and AI arpeggios which might come handy for experimenting with ideas which I can then transfer to Logic Pro (both MIDI and Audio are sent through USB on separate tracks if I understand correctly) I don't like it's heavily menu-driven but I plan using it as a preset-machine. There seems to be a good software editor too. I'll be waiting for 3 weeks for it to become available and I can cancel the order. Talk me in or out of it, if you like 😛 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Emm Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Ah, don't second-guess yourself. Its a smart move. Some of you return instruments too quickly. This one has a classically fussy Roland GUI, but its not impenetrable. As a preset machine, its a very good VST in hardware form. Once you get a handle on just the first level of programming, the huge variety should pay off well. The list of things that includes a few RD pianos is sumptuous. Pretend the minikeys aren't there and treat it as a very complimentary partner for your Hydrasynth. The sequencing tools aren't shabby, either. 1 Quote "Well, the 60s were fun, but now I'm payin' for it." ~ Stan Lee, "Ant-Man and the Wasp" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 13 synths and this one is a great addition to what I have. It is very impressive. hope you get yours quick cause I heard that there is a long wait for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Very happy with my Jupiter Xm now, but still want a full size Jupiter X some day. The USB wireless connection makes a big difference when connecting to the cloud and downloading individual patches. The Xm is a great size to blend in with a DAWless setup and/or modular. 1 Quote This post edited for speling.
