Roland JX-8P Analog Synth Demo - Best 80s Presets (by Eric Persing who did D-50 sounds)

video upload by Dave Daves

"Playing chord progressions to show off my favorite JX-8P Preset patches - Eric Persing just began programming presets for Roland synths, this for the JX-8P was his very first of perhaps the most illustrious patch-programming career; he's most famous for the Roland D-50 sounds, especially #1 Fantasia which found its way into the GM General MIDI standard patch map (if you don't know it by name, you'll still recognize it), he did all the JV- and XV- later ROMplers too and I think XV-5080 may have been his last. I was raised to think that using presets without any editing is just lazy... but with the JX-8P they just sound perfect to my ears."
