Iconic 1990s Digital Synth Now Available for the ZENOLOGY Software Synthesizer and Select ZEN-Core Hardware Instruments

Los Angeles, CA, March 2, 2021 — Roland announces the JD-800 Model Expansion, the latest addition to the ZEN-Core Model Expansion lineup available through Roland Cloud. Based on Roland’s influential JD-800 hardware synthesizer released in 1991, the JD-800 Model Expansion celebrates the 30th anniversary of this vintage digital icon by bringing it to modern players through the ZENOLOGY Software Synthesizer and select Roland hardware instruments with the ZEN-Core Synthesis System.

In an era dominated by preset-focused digital synths with limited hands-on controls, the JD-800 brought the synthesizer world back to its roots with a massive control-laden panel and an aggressively electronic sound palette. With its retro workflow, evocative sounds, and powerful effects, the instrument became a favorite for top electronic music producers through the ’90s and beyond. Combining the original JD-800 waveforms with advanced modeling techniques, the JD-800 Model Expansion captures the sonic behavior of its vintage counterpart with 100-percent authenticity, coupled with deep sound-shaping potential through a full recreation of the JD-800’s vast control architecture.

The JD-800 Model Expansion is currently supported with Roland’s ZENOLOGY and ZENOLOGY Pro software instruments and JUPITER-X and JUPITER-Xm hardware instruments.

About ZEN-Core Model Expansions

From rare and sought-after classics to the designs of tomorrow, Model Expansions give musicians and producers unprecedented access to the historic and ever-evolving world of Roland synthesizers. The JD-800 is the latest member of a growing Model Expansion family that also includes the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, JX-8P, and SH-101.

New Therevox ET-5 - Ten Sounds in Ten Minutes

video by therevoxhq

Note the new patch panel on the left. You can find additional Therevox posts here.

"I've been in a drone and soundscape mood lately. Here are ten different sounds from the new Therevox ET-5.

1. Bass Freeze
This sound uses the new ET-5 feature of being able to freeze the pitch of Oscillator 2, which is set to a bassy sawtooth wave. The sawtooth wave is also new to the ET-5.

2. Echo Waves
Using Oscillator 2 patched into the Filter Cutoff on the Patch panel and sent to a pretty slow sine wave.

3. No Hands
This uses the ET-5's new Hold Sliders, allowing the amplitude of each oscillator to be held without pushing the intensity keys. Perfect for drones and knob tweaking in real-time.

4. Floating
The Hold 1 slider is assigned to control both the Filter Cutofff and Filter Resonance via the Patch Panel. A healthy does of internal Spring Reverb and spooky trails from the Earthquaker Transmisser pedal.

5. Fuzzy Rhythms
Osc 1 is set to a triangle wave note and Osc 2 is set to white noise, both run through the Ellman boutique fuzz.

6. Interval Harmony
Oscillator 2 is tuned to an interval of Osc 1 to create an interesting harmony. A Red Panda Raster delay is put through the FX loop to provide subtle layers.

7. Transmisser Drone
Again using the Hold Sliders for hands-free operation of both oscillators while knobs on the Transmisser and ET-5 are tweaked. The new Saturation (gain) stage is also used to add distortion.

8. Saw Mod
Oscillator 2's saw wave at an audio frequency is used to modulate the Filter cutoff and the Hold 1 slider is also used to control this cutoff, both patched through one of two Mults available on the Patch Panel.

9. Warbles.
The cutoff frequency of the filter is modulated by oscillator one in LFO mode at a medium rate, changing the sound of oscillator 1's triangle wave.

10. Bass Freeze 2
A low sawtooth bass and octiviant waveform together, using the ET-5's ability to freeze the pitch of OSC 2 by pressing down on the pressure sensitive fingerboard."

The floppy drive skips and most likely needs cleaning but I included the original brand new floppy drive with it. It already has SCSI so the floppy is really not required but here is a brand new drive with it.

The only imperfection is a small line on one of the keys as shown. It’s absolutely spotless. Like totally spotless

Everything works on it. Keys still feel new.

Baseck Plays: Elektron Octatrack MKII - Now in Black

video by Perfect Circuit

"​@baseck​ came by to our studio to play the @Elektron​ Octatrack MKII that now comes in Black!

The Octatrack originally came out a little more than 10 years ago, and it is still one of the most powerful samplers/sequencers out for live performance. It has 8 tracks of sampling, 8 tracks of midi sequencing, 4 audio inputs and 4 audio outputs with tons of sample manipulation and effect options. The DJ crossfader lets you change between two scenes, letting you change multiple settings with one slider. And since it is an Elektron it has a great sequencer.

Buchla Easel Command 208C - Arpeggio

video by TheTrackdriver

"Made my first video with the Buchla Easel Command 208C that I bought from Signal Sounds in Scotland. The Easel is connected with a MIDI cable to an Elektron Octatrack which is running an arpeggiator. I am changing patterns later in the video so each oscillator receives a different MIDI sequence on separate MIDI channels - the complex oscillator on channel 2 and the modulation oscillator on channel 3. The audio goes through the Octatrack with some effects added and then recorded on my computer."

CC JP6 and LWSS Discrete Ladder filter

"A spontaneous comparison between the Conjured circuits JP6 filter (Lower keybed), and the Lower West Side Studio Discrete Ladder filter (Upper keybed). Oscillators for the JP6 are three Corsynth Oddyseys, and for the Discrete Ladder filter three Dotcom Q106.
Drums from a Fantom G8, and bass from two Q106, passing through a krisp1 Overdrive II and a Q150 filter."

5U - FM Drone

video by Precarious333 Music

"Testing out some modules (outside the case). Patch is an ElectroSmith VCO with linear FM from Q106A sine which is sequenced by a SympleSEQ. Saw out from ElectroSmith to Barton BMC034 Switched Resistor VCF (built by Lower West Side Studio) running 2 low pass filters in series. Barton BMC034 is modulated by Encore Universal Event Generator running through the inverter on Q155 with inversion modulated by an audio frequency signal from SSL 1710 5-PULSER which is processing the same Q106A FM-ing the ElectroSmith VCO, introducing a pitch heard as the accented notes. The inverter output is then fed to the Curver section of Q155 modulated by a second Encore UEG. Simple, right? Ha-ha!


Q155 Curver is a really great module. Works great to add uniqueness to modulation signals and audio alike. I'm sure I'll find a place for it in every patch.

A minute into the video I introduce an inverted copy of the sequence controlling Q106A into the Clock input on the Barton BMC034. This is an experimental input on a very strange filter producing unexpected results. In this instance we get a sweet spot that produces truncated versions of the sequence because the filter freaks out creating dead zones. I like that kind of thing. \ (•◡•) /

Things fall into chaos when I exponentially FM the ElectroSmith VCO by another VCO running a different sequence which degenerates into the noise at the end.

added 100n filtering capacitors
eliminated U4 by simplifying inverted output circuit
added 4x 100R current limiting resistors to outputs
Horizontal aligned components
single screw post, previously was 2 screw posts
This is the assembled version. Included is a 15cm 10-to-16 pin ribbon connector. Just plug into your system and go!

Module Depth: 22mm

Current Measurements: 16mA/+12V, 2mA-12V, 0mA/+5V (not used)

Contour Scope Measurements
