- The JT-2 is an attempt to recreate one of the greatest synths of all time in a small, affordable package.
Behringer has published images of a new Eurorack module inspired by the Roland Jupiter 8, a polysynth released in 1981.
True to form, Behringer has released few details about the JT-2, but from the images it's a two-voice analogue instrument with circuitry that models the oscillator and filter of the 40-year-old synth.
However, unlike the original, the JT-2 has only two voices of polyphony, rather than eight. It also only has a mono output and can't store patches.
Behringer often teases products via social media to gauge whether there's enough demand to take an idea into production. In a Facebook post, Behringer said it could produce the JT-2 for $299 and invited readers to register their interest.
