    Roland JP-8000 - the 90's vintage classic synth


    The @RolandChannel JP-8000 is in my opinion the best vintage synth of the 90's. It has most of the synthesis tricks we are looking for : Sync, Ring mod, X-mod, LFP, BPF, HPF, 2 LFO, 2 ENV, 8 voices shared on 2 separate patches, an arpegiator, Chorus and Delay. All of this in nice tone of blue.

    00:00 intro
    01:03 OSC section
    06:18 Filter section
    06:47 Effect processors
    07:50 Temporary scope
    08:47 Lower - upper - split mode
    10:27 Motion control
    12:12 Ribbon
    12:40 Conclusion

    No because I don't share my music, I make electronic dub, my friends are the only humans on this planet who can listen to my tracks, when we go to the south french mountain to take psylocibes every year.
    I'm not a vip, i'm just from another generation.
    If people want help for making music with old hardware, they can PM me, I will be glad to help and/or share my knowledge.
    Oh yes midi is tight with an atari !

    Bravo to The Usual Suspects. Modern day legends indeed. Donations are the least I can do to help, because I can't code for shit.

    Nice to see Steve Helstrip excited about it, and talking it up!
    I mean I guess you would be excited, when you already have the JP8000 and the 8080 sitting there in the studio lol

    Considering that the first version of the Nord Lead plugin officially came last February and had been in testing since alpha in the August prior, I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see it officially till march unless progress moves faster this time and maybe we could see it in January?
