Roland Jupiter-6 (JP-6) Analogue with Europa digital modification, polyphonic synth, purchased in 1984. The control panel is light grey, not the usual black. Imported as a Japanese Grey Import.
Still a favourite after all these years, my 'one of a kind' Roland Jupiter-6 is an original owner polyphonic synth circa 1984, all in excellent working condition.
