"Shown is an edit screen from the JD-990. This is the "structure" page, which determines how the processing blocks are to be organized in a given patch.

Ring modulation is one of the few synth functions that is difficult to do well in analog circuitry, but trivially easy to do in digital synthesis.)

Looks essentially like the D50/550 and Fantom Series.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how Roland knew to make the screen the official Matrixsynth color...

ReplyDeleteI think that Matrixsynth knows how much pukey digital green appeals to nerds from the pre-red and pre-blue LCD screen era.
ReplyDeletebingo tyler. That and green is my favorite color. Here's some ugly retro from '97 for you: Matrixsynth Old (still retro in '97).
ReplyDeletedave, yep, it sure looks nice on the site.
