Nick Rhodes knows a great synthesizer when he plays one. In this interview, he reveals how Roland gear has always played a big part in the Duran Duran sound, from the JUPITER-4 used on Rio right through to the new Roland JD-XA analog/digital crossover synth powering their Paper Gods world tour. “I’m very excited about it,” he says of the latter, “because it can do something that no other synthesizer can do…”

If you take PRE-ORDERS enough people will order it and you will NOT loose money! Please someone start a WEBSITE and collect all the names and emails of everyone who wants a "NEW" Jupiter 8. There has got to be a way !!

@nicholasfaith8999 5 лет назад

@@Oakine while the boutique JP08 is fun and can get similar types of sounds, it has some latency issues and it still NOT a Jupiter 8. None of the boutiques is a replacement for the real thing. Now, that being said, I believe using modern SMD technology in place of the original IC's would work for modern analog reissue/reimagining. As far as digital, an 8-16 voice JP08 *plus* built into a full keyboard, and replacing the digital vcf and VCA emulation with reissued roland analog VCF's/VCA's could be great.

@MrLawrence0071 6 лет назад

There are 150 bucks plug ins these days that come 95% close when listening dry and unnoticable in the mix. You can keep your Jup 8 for 10.000 :-). By the way, the more powerful computers become, the closer the plugs will come. In a few years you can have the entire Roland range in 1 synth with the exact sound quality. And then the real Jup breaks and bye bye money :-) No disrespect intended to the mighty old Jup. But times change.

Indeed, if you see interviews with keyboard players, they have rushed towards reliable ways of bring in the sounds as much as they would love the original instruments.

@depecheddurand 6 лет назад

you can`t play analogs live as you have to reset the knobs for each song its fuking hard not impossible. He did back in the 80s on jupiter 4 and 8 which is very tough i give him that. Jupiter 8 is aroun 10 - 15k that's the only way to bring that sound on their live shows to sample them .You just can`t carry around your analogs on your live shows from state to state .Even depeche mode use digital keyboards during their live shows .Whatever produced in the studio can`t be played live its impossible.

@TransistorBased 6 лет назад

@nicholasfaith8999 5 лет назад

@@depecheddurand it is doable, It takes planning though and multiple analogs that are tweaked as you go. Look at gary numan's old tour's, Depeche Mode's early tours before the Emulator II/emax, and prophet 2000's (Little cheap monosynths from roland, moog, yamaha, kawai, and then the PPG 2.3 and Roland Promars), and John Foxx around Metamatic. Also, Rush, yes, ELP, Blondie, et al The Jupiter 8, Prophet 5, CS80 made it MUCH easier.

@@depecheddurand the first synths I had in the mid 90's were Roland juno 6/60, Moog mg1, minimoog, Sonic six, arp string ensemble, moog taurus II pedals. There was a lot of tweaking quickly between songs, you'd also learn how to quickly eyeball certain types of sounds FAST.

@bb2847 7 лет назад

@__teles__ 7 лет назад

Stepping in such small steps the human ear cannot hear it. Do you have an example of stepping of the JD-XA? I bet you don't.

@mrburns366 6 лет назад

They're analog filters but since it's digitally controlled it's going to have it's sweep divided into 128 "steps." That doesn't mean you can hear them though. There's probably some type of interpolation going on or it's such small increments you don't hear it.

@florisvandenberg7424 8 лет назад

I love Nick, but I have no interest in the JD-XA. Only 49 keys and thin sound. Nick seems to use it only as a sample trigger anyways. There's cheaper stuff you can use for that, such as the Roland A800 Pro. I'd like to get my hands on a Jupiter 4 or 8 someday. Also I wonder, what synths were used for the flanger synth parts on a view to a kill?
