All about the Roland Jupiter-series

Did anyone watch this (probably reruns are being shown all week),
Alicia Keys sang a nice group of tunes and walked down the
runway-style stage to where a vintage Roland Jupiter 8 (at first I
thought it was a 6 but I think it was an 8) was on a stand. She seemed
pretty proud of her Jupiter synth! It was a great advert for Jupiters,
and she was really playing it. You could hear the thick analog sound
coming from it...

Yah, and it has "Yamaha" written over it if I'm not wrong ;))

Yeah, you're wrong, no Yamaha anywhere on it. It looked in great
shape. I checked and she plays it on her video as well. She can
actually play the keyboards. Here's another reference to the Jupiter 6:

Oh yah !

check the Yamaha logo at the top side of the front panel. Ridiculous
isn't it ?
