"Jag vill ha en egen måne" - on Roland JV-35
Published on Dec 29, 2014 organfairy
"I got this keyboard very cheap because it was pretty obvious that it had been in the hands of teenagers (it came from a school).
I could off course try and contact the local Roland supplier to get some new keys if possible. But I decided that I would try and cut some pieces from an old worn out keyboard from an organ I scrapped many years ago.
The operation went relatively well so I will probably keep it like this.
At first sight the Roland JV-35 keyboard is just another general MIDI affair. But because it has a build-in signal processor and edit sliders for cut-off, resonance, attack, decay, release, and vibrato it is actually a quite nice little synthesizer. At least that is my impressions after using it for a short while.
The music is from Sweden this time. Ted Gärdestad was a very popular teenage star in the early 1970's. Backed up by Björn Ulveaus and Benny Anderson - who later formed ABBA - he had several hits in his home country. And one of them was this song called "Jag vill ha en egen måne" which I here play on the Roland JV-35."
