Roland JP8000 custom sounds 

It felt great too. Felt pleasantly rough, almost like it was made of stone.

No offense dude...but you need to refine your VST shopping skills.There are plenty of VST's that achieve all the warmth,depth & analogue goodness of hardware.Keep in mind also,that the JP8000(though hardware)..is still just VA synth(not that there is anything inferior with VA.)There is a soft-synth demo from BeepStreet,that you need to try...called Sunrizer(it's a JP8000 emulation.)It has all the sonic goodness of the Roland,except that it is more powerful and trumps the JP8000 with it's 24 note polyphony & additional effects.On the subject of hardware versus software,also check out U-HE's Diva,Hive,Zebra 2 and VirtualOberheim's OBX Pro soft-synths and then say again,how "pure" & "powerful" hardware waveforms are,over software.By the way,BeepStreet's Sunrizer synth,is only $50!

Philo Beddoe Yaaaaaaaaaawn... Playing a real Synth feels way better than watching those Softsynths on your Screen. There's a world besides DAWs :)

+Dennis Ulrich I've used hardware since 1986 and what makes me yawn,is shelling out thousands of dollars for shit keybeds and being limited to 49 keys,with certain models.I also grew tired of certain keys failing,screen failures ,OS crashes,memory card issues,no upgrade options or very limited upgrade options,computer integration issues,keyboard chasis's being made out of particle board,repair shop jerk offs who make defects even worse and trying to find replacement parts that don't exist(because the f**king keyboard is long out of production.)What excites me about computer DAW's,is being able to choose & customize the keybed size & quality you need,choosing the level of PC integration you want and spending a minimal amount of coin,in the process.With software,there is no compromise in quality and HD space(provided you spend the extra coin,which is far less than any moderate to high end hardware keyboard you could buy.)Also...there are midi controllers out there with many on-board physical controls,that will minimize the use of your mouse and give you a hardware-like feel,to your PC workstation.The last hardware keyboard I had purchased,was a Korg Krome(the key-bed was shit & all of the synth and orchestral sounds were shit and I returned 2 of them,because the OS's failed.)The only hardware keyboard that is even worth considering(for what I want)...is the Korg Kronos,but the idea of spending thousands on a keyboard and spending thousands more on additional libraries for it and then having the screen fail 5 years down the road,is bullshit.One of the primary advantages to a computer workstation,is that if the computer dies,you can always re-download your purchases...or simply re-distrubute the software you saved on thumb drives,to a new computer.THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF COMPUTER DAW'S,IS A WORLD I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH...EVER AGAIN...NOT EVER.

Dude, this "hardware" doesn't make any type of waveforms, this is software in a plastic container, there is no difference between this and the VSTs on your computer

hello. you are so right in your comment.. but, many "old fashioned" kyb players are not related or familiar in the use of pluggins (vst and so) will depend on each personal case/use. I bought this stage piano kurzweil and I use it as my master kyb controller.. atop I used an old Yamaha v50 (ws fm) and.. in my case, I would defenitely prefer to buy this Roland coz I consider that I could manage with this three boards. and skip on digging on the VST thing. I have not a lap or sound card or any other gear, just my keyboards and the fact that all of the music I play.. I play it live. That's why.. for some people would run perfectly with the software.. and for others.. the keyboards. Despite of what you said about common nowadays boards.. are mostly shitty.. software are son convenient, brighter and cheaper.. not for everyboady but for those who learned and digged in on how all these programs function and deliver their "magic" Thank for the comment, very interesting. One thing one, despite kronos is such a neat board.... I will defenitely head turn on the Kurzweil Forte2 instead! far better instrument.. in my opinion. Greetings!

You have the two best digital synths Roland ever made, I think. I’ll be buying a JD-08 soon. To me, it’s the first Boutique poly synth that has made sense. I hope this is next on the list for the Boutique treatment. Not sure what they would call it though, as JP-08 is already taken.

@@oblitafier Hi. Thanx for your reply. Yes, the JD800 has a mind of it's own. Scared the living daylights out of me. Enjoy your new synth.

the important thing is that they feel the sounds , there is always someone who plays better than us

+JackOasys Superb demo man. Ive always rated the JP8000 as good as a JP8 or any oldschool analogue classic.

thanks for appreciating !!!!

JackOasys

i love my Gaia and Mininova...also have Minibrute,Roland Rs70 and Yamaha MM6.love all of them

Grabiato Nehrimzer don’t forget the Korg Z1 and Alesis Ion

Dino Buckhoy ilive in switzerland, and yes, the fuck we got money here 😂😂😂😂😂

Dino Buckhoy btw, ive sold it all lol got a korg kronos 2 - 88here. a blofeld, pulse 2, and a prophet 12. the mopho and a blue biest called mono Evolver lol

Hai ragione, nella fretta del montaggio video ho sbagliato clamorosamente l'anno

Lol

***** JP6K

System 8, I guess...

Thankyou John!

Thanks

Clay C. thanks for your comment Clay!

Don't think it, feel it!

For psychodelic sounds is a great machine

Paul Thenmann the Roland System 8 would be good for that and the price is not bad!

not at all similar, except they are made by the same company

jp6k. it's not for kontakt, but vsti. must have!

One of the things I like. I have a "broken" Korg R3 that does the same but even more so.

i think thats just youtube compression buddy

You can save your unique sounds and save them to a PC. You can even write down the setttings of each knob. Many of these do not sound stock. They sound better then many of the stock sounds.

Dipende dall'uso che si deve fare. JP8000 ha suoni grassi e la supersaw, utilissima per costruire lead potenti e suoni tipo brass o pad. MS2000 è meno corposo, più tagliente, ma ha dalla sua che è facilissimo programmarci bellissimi evolving-pad e a mio avviso è più semplice nell'uso del sequencer...

Grazie mille delle dritte!

JackOasys e ti è mai capitato sotto le mani un Nord Lead? Se si, come lo trovi rispetto al JP-8000 e al MS 2000?

The V-Synth maybe....

The system-8 perhaps?

depends, how much did you pay?

over paid $650

Ebay

check this, i doubt you'll get one in better condition, read the blurb on it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROLAND-JP8000-MEGA-SYNTH-JP-8000-GREAT-CONDITION-/201092661740?pt=Keyboards_MIDI&hash=item2ed20e81ec#viTabs_0

just bought it & created a transaction thanks to your suggestion….

no problem :)

Darude sandstorm

Oh vaya, un hispano en comentarios :o

Non so esattamente di che anno sia. Il "gracchiamento" è un problema legato al knob del volume generale. Non ha nessun problema di colla rossa, perchè i tasti non sono di quelli con la maledetta colla rossa...

Ad ogni modo, complimenti è un ottima demo ;)

Stefano Alderighi Grazie, molto gentile! Non mi piacciono le demo di chi non ti fa sentire i suoni ma si mette in mostra per far vedere quante note inutili è capace di fare in un secondo...

Ti assicuro che non lo dico per gentilezza tra tutte le demo di youtube ascoltabili, la tua merita tanto. Per caso sai anche riparare i Synth?

Stefano Alderighi Dipende, alcuni lavoretti di poco conto sui miei li ho fatti, ma in tutta onestà ci sono macchine su cui ho paura io stesso a mettere le mani... cambiare ad esempio display o le contattiere mi spaventa sempre, evito di farlo...
