Wow, incredible emulation, I have a real JD and these sounds are close to identical, effects and filter sweeps are spot on, and having the same pcm sound bank, you have all ingredients needed. Great work Roland.
Hats off to you Roland, you have done an amazing job, i have an original JD-800 and if not for real time performance controls could sell. (Not going to because i adore that synth)
It's one of my fav models! No subscription needed for the X, just a single one payment purchase. It also comes with access to the JD-800 Model for the Zenology plugin too, but that will require owning the Zenology plugin or subscribing to use that
I read that you can only add two expansions to Jupiter-X. Does this apply to the model expansions, too? Meaning, if you install JD-800 you only have a slot for one additional expansion (whether it's a model expansion or a wave expansion pack from Roland cloud Manager)? Great video!
How many would you want to have for performance? It already has jp8, jx, sh, juno, rd, xv. All expansions are swapable, install what you need for your performances. Studio, you can have all vst version from roland cloud.
@@mdmusiz If I'm paying extra for some of the expansions, swapping is not ideal since some scenes could have multiple engines/expansions and would lose functionality if removed/swapped. For my purposes, any additional paid keys need to live on the hardware, otherwise it'd make more sense to go to Roland Cloud, which is not inspiring for me personally. From what I gather, you can hold a bunch of stuff on the JP-X since model expansions use low storage space. It was a hypothetical question but a helpful one for anyone comparing Fantom vs JP-X.
Or course it‘s not the same. A JD-800 is not a JD-800 only sound-wise, but mainly UI-wise. The incredible user interface of the original JD-800 is mine blowing. The Jupiter X has different sliders, but the whole look and feel of a JD-800 with the 4 layers that can be switched on and off, or the level sliders for the 4 tones. That’s all completely different with the Jupiter X emulation. And by the as: the new JD-08 is a joke with those tiny sliders. They should have spend twice the size of a boutique format width. It’s a pity. The polyphony of the JD-08 is just incredible good, but the UI lacks.
