Bachus I believe the Integra7 was on the design table first, even if the Jupiters hit the streets first..
Even though as you said the Integra7 has 64 studio sets at a time, you can load directly from the flash memory as many as you need.
The Integra7 is designed to use with a computer, as an audio and midi interface. It also has the editor as a VST for your DAW.
The Jupiter has the controls you mention, it is designed as a performance keyboard.
The apparent problem with both units could be polyphony, but there is no need to burden the instruments to get great results.
We might never know.. which one Roland designed first..
But the difference is clear..
One designed for studio use..
The other designed to play music live..
The polyphony on the Jp80 is 256, double that of an integra..
Its also limited to 10 voices... so probably way less of a problem..
Espescially when you also take into account that live playing is much less stressing then sequencng for example orchestral tracks..
Altough.. with 10 voices layered.. each having 3 active partials.. and some using the sustain function.. so thats 30 voices/note played, i guess you run out of polyphony pretty fast on any instrument..
