Behringer JT-2 Now Available to Order!

The JT-2, Behringer’s desktop/Eurorack synth based on two of the JT-16’s voices, is now available to order, but don’t expect shipping just yet!
Behringer JT-2 Now Available to Order
[UPDATE: 22nd April 2026] After making its debut at NAMM 2026 earlier this year, Behringer’s JT-2 is now available to order in stores. Featuring one of the 16 voices that will (one day) appear in their forthcoming JT-16 synth, a recreation of the Roland Jupiter 8, this unit delivers a two-oscillator duophonic/paraphonic experience.
For those wanting to create their own JT-16 ahead of its release, you have the ability to polychain up to 16 JT-2s to get a wild 16 voice monster! I think I’d rather wait for the keyboard version, myself! However, this seems to tick all the right boxes for a recreation of those classic JP8 voices.
There are two analogue VCOs, PWM, hard sync and cross modulation, plus an analogue low pass filter with cutoff and resonance and a high pass filter with just cutoff. There’s also an LFO and two ADSR envelopes for the filter and VCA.
Performance-wise, there is an arpeggiator, and like most of Behringer’s desktop/Eurorack units, you can feed external audio through the unit’s filters. And at just €179, this will make a lot of people very happy with a minimal hit to their wallets!
JT-2 Seen In The Wild
[22nd January, 2026] Spied at NAMM 2026 on Press Day yesterday, it appears that Behringer’s JT-2 is about to go on sale!
Our sources on the ground in Anaheim, CA at NAMM 2026, have told us that Behringer has an actual unit on their stand. You may recall that the JT-2 is a single-voice desktop/Eurorack module that delivers a one-voice recreation of the Jupiter 8.
It was first teased nearly three years ago, something we’ve become used to with Behringer, so it is good to finally see it publicly and (hopefully) powered up and playable. Nothing much seems to have changed since the early appearance, so we think most, if not all the detail below is still accurate.
Behringer Tease the JT-2 Jupiter Voice in Eurorack
[February 21st, 2023]True to form, Behringer have teased a new prototype via their Facebook page this afternoon, the JT-2, a single voice unit in a Eurorack friendly form factor.
The Behringer JT-2
The budget synth manufacturer have announced that whilst they work on their full key version of the Jupiter 8, they have come up with a new prototype to sate the appetites of those that wait. The prototype, currently named, JT-2, is, and I quote, “an authentic Jupiter voice based on the same VCOs and VCFs, plus an autotune and arpeggiator function“.
Single Voice Paraphony
Looking at the three images supplied, the unit certainly bears all the visual hallmarks of the classic Roland polysynth. The key difference here is that distinct lack of the other 7 voices. The branding states that it is an analog paraphonic synthesizer. This statement and the number 2 in the name suggests that it might actually be able to play two notes, albeit with the second note not re-triggering the VCF and VCA.
Behringer claim that they believe they can make this for an RRP of $299 USD. This would make it slightly cheaper than Roland’s own JP-08 which is polyphonic, if only 4 voice. Other than being Eurorack compatible, one has to wonder why anyone would entertain the Behringer over a genuine Roland. The obvious answer is that the JP-08 is discontinued!
Convenient and Well Connected
Would you entertain the concept of a single voice Jupiter or does the very name Jupiter scream polyphony? The front panel of the JT-2 certainly looks the business. Connectivity is limited to a single MIDI In and Out, USB and a mono audio out. The regular array of 3.5mm CV/Gate, Sync and audio outputs adorn the front panel. The classic Roland red, orange and yellow buttons function as controls for the arpeggiator. No presets here, obviously!
To JT or not JT?
Behringer have invited comments to be left on their Facebook post. Is this something that appeals to you? Would you pay $299 for a single Jupiter voice? Would you prefer to wait for the full-blown poly that they teased at the end of last year? Let us know in the comments below.

Hideous 😂
800% Waiting
Getting a 2nd job Now to fund the Jupiter!!
Can’t wait the give it a whirl in 2046
I need this. Purely as a controller for my MKS-80! Do the right thing behringer, and make the knobs transmit the proper sysex!
I hadn’t thought of it that way… Throw in some more controls and make a MIDI-mappable controller for plugins or a future desktop JP-8 🙂
Jupiter 8 possibly released module by module till you collect all 8 modules.
I guess it will be in line with their other empty promises.
Well, they have like 30 announcements that are under development by now. Might be a good idea that they start to ship something before any more noise about upcoming products. Most of my Behringer synths works fine but having trouble with my MS-1, a firmware fix for this real product will likely never see the light of day but they keep posting these announcements.
at this point do they just throw a random thing made with photoshop and develop the most popular? so many “prototype” that have never seen the light of day. I would be insterested in a full jupiter remake but one voice is not really appealing.
the behringer saturn soul? a repulsively ugly volca formfactor Jupiter 1 voice, ok. jt-2 is wasted components and materials for one voice.
behringer do something right? so funny… still lmao! hahahaha
Doesn’t a one voice Jupiter just sound like any other synth voice? Like for example the 112-module?
The JP-08 ain’t bad, it does do chords, but is a bit fidgetty. The much maligned JX-08 is better, much fatter and with a lovely filter, plus it’s bi-timbral, two JX-8Ps without being a JX-10. The Behringer one looks nice enough, analogue if only 2 voice, it would be great in a modular setup. At the minute we’re all wavetable, and maybe the delay of the JT-16 is not as much of a problem while you’ve got a Multipoly and Hydrasynth to explore?
