The Roland Jupiter-Xm is a smaller version of the Jupiter-X, and has a flexible engine that can reproduce sounds from different Roland eras, from the Jupiter-8 to the XV-5080, including modern RD pianos. Although more limited, the panel is more intuitive to use than the Jupiter-X. When controlling Omnisphere, the Jupiter-Xm must be set to the Jupiter model, and that will give you control over two layers, two LFOs, Filter and Amp Envelopes, and several effect units. It’s not cheap, but if you like the idea of having access to multiple Roland engines in a compact space, this is worth considering.
