MPG-70 Super JX Programmer - Patch Generator Demo - Bass (No Talking)

video upload by Retroaktiv Synthesizers

"Some BASS patches generated by MPG-70 patch generator. Sorry for the flickering of the OLED. That's due to the camera refresh rate. In person, the OLED has no flicker and appears solid white. These are tricky to shoot due to the refresh rate of the OLED vs the refresh rate of the camera."

Layering 2 JX-8P using Retroaktiv MPG-70 Controller

video upload by Retroaktiv Synthesizers

"The MPG-70 is capable of layering any combo of JX8P, MKS-70 and Super JX synths, whether stock or Vecoven modded. You can layer the synths and store their exact state as a SETUP object in the MPG-70's internal memory. You can also set up complex modulation routings, such as making the mod wheel open the filter on JX 1, while closing the filter and increasing resonance on JX 2. You can use any CC, aftertouch, foiotpedal, or the two dedicated ASSIGN controls to modulate any combo of front panel slisers you wish."

Fully Upgraded Roland MKS-70 with Retroactiv MPG-70

via this auction

"The MKS-70 has every possible upgrade: Vecoven flash board with multiple banks of patch storage; professionally installed Vecoven PWM upgrade kit which puts this synth into Jupiter & CS-80 territory; Guy Wilkinson upgraded power supply which is WAY more efficient, stable, and runs much cooler; low noise cable routing mod; OLED display upgrade; and fresh battery. This already great synth is ready for the next 40 years, and runs circles around a stock unit! It's also loaded with dozens of stunning patch banks, including one that makes heavy use of the new PWM mod.

On top all that, the new version of Retroaktiv's MPG-70 programmer - the mk3 with optional patch storage upgrade. This is crucial because it gets around Roland's Patch/Tone storage limitations. And of course it gives you hands on control of every parameter AND it works as a universal MIDI controller for any synth or plugin!

All in, this whole bundle was over $4100 with parts & labor"

Roland JX-10 with Retroaktiv MPG-70

video upload by JimDaneker

"5 minute deep dive into one of the best analog synths ever made: the Roland JX-10, controlled by the Retroaktiv MPG-70 Programmer. The MPG-70 is a brilliant piece of gear in that it completely opens up the JX-10, bringing every parameter to a physical control surface. It even lets you control both upper and lower tones simultaneously - something no other controller can do. The icing on the cake is that it can control ANY synth - hardware or software, using standard MIDI CCs!

My JX-10 has the optional Vecoven ROM, which is a must-have to bring this glorious synth into the 21st century and allow it to be controlled via MIDI CCs."
