I didn't trust that this was real when I saw it on GS, and I still don't believe its real on here.

I'm pretty sure it's real. Roland did the same with the Junos (D & G) a few years ago (i.e., used a legacy name and made new cheap digital versions of them to make a few bucks). The Jup80 looks like nothing more than a fancier version of those with the Jupiter color scheme, buttons, etc. I guess Roland has figured out that, if it "looks analogue", people will buy it (and they're probably right, to an extent).

Some one told me Roland sold the Jupiter name, that's why they called the JP 8000 not the Jupiter 8000.

Roland Jupiter 80 looks like shit!
I bet it has a V-synth sound engine.

Looks interesting to me, wut with me being a roland sucker.
Thinking of selling my Roland Fantom7 anyway - but was planning to maybe get a second hand DS Polyevolver as I've hear people say it can make some pretty esoteric sounds with a special creamy quality, yum.
