Roland JD-800 synthesizer (NO red glue) + 2 Library ROM card sets

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

Strange keyboard quirk mentioned below.

via this auction

"This is a very special instrument. The Roland JD-800 is considered a classic in the synth world. Its a very inspiring looking machine. The sounds this instrument can deliver are exceptional and very inspiring...

The keyboard assembly was repaired and restored a couple of years ago. All the red glue was 100 % removed from all the 61 keys and all the weights of each key were glued again with 5 minute epoxy (the best way so far to put those back again). The Keyboard contact strip was replaced by a new one (an original Roland contact strip, the newer model replacement) which required a little modification on the small pc board mounted under the keybed to fit the connectors of the new contact strip again properly. All the Contact strips were also replaced by new ones (original ones as well).

Currently the keyboard works, plays and feels great. Each key produces sound and correct velocity values. However there is a little issue. When pressing and holding the B note of the 3rd octave, if you play on top (while holding that B) the notes C C#D and D# of the next (4th) octave, these will sound very loud (at max velocity value), and going down playing the notes Bb A and Ab of the same octave (3rd octave, and still holding that B note) these will also sound very loud. So basically the next 4 notes/keys (in chromatic order) going up and the next 3 going down while holding that B note, will sound very loud. This only happens when holding the B note, if you play that B note with any other note at the same time (including the ones that sound loud when holding that B) will sound correctly with the correct velocity value. This Little issue is not really an impediment to still play and enjoy this wonderful instrument, but it is worth mentioning it since it is a keyboard controller failure and some players might get annoyed by this. The after-touch is also working but you have to press the keys very hard to notice the function. I'm pretty sure there is still ways to improve the after-touch or get rid of the little failure I just mentioned, but I just don't use this keyboard that often the way I used to, and right now I'm in need of some money. Using this JD800 as MIDI module synthesizer with the MIDI Input, this will never happen, since is an issue on the keyboard assembly only (which is basically the keyboard controller for the "brain" of the JD800). The "brain", the console, internal functionality and controls of this JD800 are working properly at every level.

Other than the little failure on the keyboard assembly/controller mentioned, this unit is basically 100 % playable, enjoyable and in great working and sounding condition."

"Korg ms20 module. Used on 1 sound design project for a tv show. In excellent studio kept condition. Sounds amazing, the filter is quality.

Considered by many ms20 enthusiasts as the most desirable ms-20 because it features both filter types, compact design, and deeper synthesis than the vintage ms20.

Also ships with the korg sq-1 sequencer which is fantastic!"

003//Neon Snowflakes [Ambient] - Eurorack, Flashback Delay, Eventide Space


Published on Dec 17, 2017 Alastair Wilson

"A lush, semi-self-generating modular patch using a small Eurorack setup sent through a TC Electronic Flashback delay pedal on ping pong setting, and then through an Eventide Space modechoverb reverb. No other processing has been applied.

This patch is semi-random - the Mother 32s supply 2 descending sequences based on a Minor 7th chord, and are panned apart into the stereo inputs of the Flashback pedal. The Assign outputs are set to output random stepped voltages, which do everything from modulate the filter cutoffs to resetting the sequences."

Plankton Electronics Ants! and Koma Elektronik BD101 in Electronic Noodlings for Electronics


Published on Dec 16, 2017 Nice and Synths

"Here's another video with sound. Sometimes the sounds are quiet then loud, so watch out. It's not too bad though, I did level things out a bit. All sound is from the Ants! directly into the BD101, directly into a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6. No processing was done...except for the previously mentioned leveling of the levels.

And now let's do some unnecessary and wordy descriptions of all the boring stuff that happens in this video.


0:00 Intro. Fully dry signal from the Ants! through the BD101. Two oscillators played duophonically: one sine, one triangle. The AD envelope is controlling the filter (in highpass mode.) The ASR envelope is controlling the VCA.

0:20 From now to the end of the video it is the fully wet signal from the BD101. One LFO from Ants! is providing square wave modulation of the delay time. Another LFO (2 regular oscillators also have an LFO mode) is providing a little vibrato for the sine wave oscillator. Yet another LFO is used as the clock for the sample-and-hold. This is prepatched in the Ants!.

1:18 Playing high notes, YEEEEEAHHH. Also, introducing the gater from the BD101, the speed of which is being controlled by random sample-and-hold from Ants! You might notice I am playing notes that aren't sounding. This is because you can't really play legato via MIDI with Ants!, you have to make sure you articulate each note separately. I play like crap so I mess up a lot. :)

1:37 Pulling cable with the triangle wave from the filter mixer section. This is now the input for the sawtooth wave from that oscillator, which is prepatched internally to the 2nd input of the filter.

1:56 Taking that darn triangle wave and putting it into the filter cv input for audio rate filter fm. This breaks the connection of the AD envelope to the filter but hey, such is life. Always breaking normalized connections, am I right?

2:25 No more filter fm, triangle wave patched back into the filter, so no more sawtooth either. Lots of random gating effects going on.

3:02 Pulling the cable from the square wave of the LFO and using the triangle wave instead. So no more rhythmic pulse, but you do get some flangery stuff happening.

3:34 Edit! Jump to where I set the filter resonance to max. This got pretty loud so I turned this part down. This kind of crap continues until the end where it fades out with some random gating noise.


The Ants! is a semi-modular synth with oscillators that don't play in tune over a wide range, but it does have four of them, and lots of other stuff. It's a fun synth if you don't mind the limited oscillator tracking.

The BD101 is a very lo-fi analog delay. With very short delay times you can get chorus and flanging effects, but if you are hoping for a clean longer delay, you won't find it. But what it does have is lots of modulation possibilities. It also has a tremolo/gate. And I went to the Koma website and just found out it is discontinued as of December 13, 2017. Huh."

Roland XP-30 Synthesizer Factory Demo Songs


Published on Dec 16, 2017 DKDiveDude

Here's something to get your groove on this morning. Some funk for your junk. Although no synthesizer is junk imo. :)

"Just did a local purchase of a mint condition Roland XP-30 Synthesizer at a decent price. I was happily surprised to then see that besides the built-in three JV-SR expansion, there was also the Hip-Hop and even better the Vintage Synths expansion cards installed, so about 2000+ patches!

Anyways here are the factory demo songs, ans stay tuned as I will later upload a video of my favorite patches."
