SATURN-80
Super analog programmer
01 / The synthesizer
From a tone
to a feeling.
In the 1980s, electronic music was opening the door to a new era.
Powerful synth brass, strings that fill the room, and deep, warm analog bass.
Rich, powerful polyphonic sounds that left their mark on countless classic records.
One of the synthesizers that defined the era was the Roland MKS-80 “Super Jupiter.”
Its carefully designed analog circuitry created a sound that combined subtle detail with a commanding presence.
Diggin’ Audio recreates the sonic character of this classic instrument, bringing the rich expression of 1980s analog synthesis into modern music production.
