Sound Editing on the JD-800
Published on Mar 24, 2018 100 Things I Do
"Every time I prepare the JD-800 to be sold I decide to give it one last try. The synth is massive and the built in tones can be very nice. I get the feeling the JD-800 was never intended to be edited live (which I like to do with synths) as it can digitally clip in the filter, and the oscillator tones are organised in a slightly haphazard way. In the early 1990's when the JD-800 came out, real time controls (or almost any controls) were a thing of the past. In my mind the JD800 was leading the way to a return of easy to use control surfaces on synths with a strong nod to early Analog.
So am I selling the JD-800 ? I still am not sure.. :D
Lexicon MPX-550 reverb was used in conjunction with inbuilt effects!"
I almost sold mine. I picked up a D-05 thinking the D-50 engine might be better, but I found it lacking up front. I still need to dig in, but the JD-800 will stay. Not sure about the D-05.
