Roland Jupiter-8
A 1980s synthesizer. It is often considered to be the best manufactured synthesizer of all time. (by music professionals and experts alike.)
It sold for a very short time and was then discontinued. Through 1981-1984; but not even 3 full years. (Much to the dismay of disgruntled musicians who want to test drive it.)
It is unknown why Roland discontinued making the Jupiter-8. Many people believe that the Roland Jupiter-8 was way too powerful and costly for Roland to build, more than people to buy it. So they had withdraw it; in order to save their company from bankruptcy. (In other words, it cost Roland more money to build one; than for someone to buy it on retail.)
