"Hi there! ;-)
In this demo I explore the Roland JX-08, capturing the iconic character of the legendary JX-8P from the 80s.
Some sounds are a little bit modified by me.
Enjoy!"
Back to 2000s XV series was one of the most powerful digital modules with its flexible engine & beautiful sound combined with great set of effects & drums.
Why its so cool?
Cause besides pianos, bells, cowbells & cheesy accordions, GM applause and Bang! presets - its capable to create great analog sounds, the deepest ambient textures, great moving sequences.
Its like a hardware 'Omnisphere' synth with huge effort.
So – what was our first desire when we get our black box?
To create our own soundset for the legend with modern approach ofcourse!
So here it is: 'Planet XV' Soundset by LFO.store team: Nick Klimenko & Kirill Polikashin.
128 presets splitted on:
Vintage analog-like basses & modern digital wavetable
Vintage & Modern leads (yes, Klaus Schulze spirit also there)
Deepest ambient pads, space drones & tonal soundscapes
Modern sequences you never heard or seen before on JV
Beautiful bells, plucks & rhytmic structures
Fx's with modular approach (cause, why not?)
Great emulations of classic legends: Moog, Jupiter, JX-series, CS & others.
Enjoy the sounds and rediscover XV world with our soundset!"
"In modern production, the most interesting results often come not from layers of weight and power but from the spaces in between. The Roland MC-303, released in the late 1990s, carried this idea into the hands of producers worldwide. Its tones are not always fat or saturated. Instead, they are brittle, sometimes almost hollow. Yet when placed inside today’s dense arrangements, these sounds can cut through with surprising precision and rhythmic character.

"RetroSound Studio Tour:
Legendary Vintage Digital & Hybrid Synthesizers of the 80s and early 90s
In this episode of RetroSound Studio, I explore classic digital synthesizers that revolutionized electronic music production during the 80s and early 90s.
From FM synthesis and wavetable synthesis to vector synthesis, PD synthesis, vitual analog and Roland’s LA synthesis, these instruments introduced a new generation of sound design and defined the sonic identity of an era.
The Yamaha DX7 became one of the best-selling synthesizers of all time, defining FM electric pianos and metallic digital textures. The PPG Wave pioneered wavetable synthesis, laying the foundation for modern digital sound engines. The Sequential Prophet VS introduced vector synthesis, allowing dynamic blending between digital waveforms. The Roland D-50 shaped late-80s pop and film scoring with its LA synthesis architecture, while the Roland JD-800 brought hands-on control back to digital synthesis in the 1990s.
These digital synthesizers shaped genres such as synth-pop, new wave, ambient, house, techno, trance, and film music. Today, they remain highly sought after by producers, collectors, and sound designers researching vintage digital synthesizers, 80s keyboard sounds, virtual analog, classic FM synthesis, and wavetable history."

"Roland MPU-IPC MIDI Processing Unit, a classic vintage MIDI interface made in Japan. This is a well-known unit from Roland’s early MIDI hardware era and is sought after by collectors, vintage studio users, and retro PC / synthesizer enthusiasts.
"This is a quick jam of the song I'm working on, Mbali Mbrace. Testing out the fx and recording levels. All percussion in this song was sequenced on the @rolandglobal TR-1000. The vocal samples were imported, chopped, transposed, and layered in with the percussion, all within the 1000. The pads and keys were recorded live from the SH-4D, and in through the Ext In of the 1000. All FX are from within the TR-1000."
All music in this video is performed live on the Roland JX8P synthesizer. No original recordings or samples from the original songs were used. This video is for educational, entertainment, and demonstration purposes only."
"This is the world’s first fully 8-voice Roland JP8 clone.
Eight discrete voices.
Original voice architecture.
14 Bit Interface Board.
The circuit follows the original Jupiter-8 design.
All functions of the original instrument are supported.
The envelopes are implemented in analog form using different ICs, while preserving the original behavior.
The filter section uses IR3109 and BA662.
A large portion of the circuitry has been implemented in SMD to simplify assembly and improve manufacturability.
This video contains raw sound examples only.
Direct audio recording.
Only a subtle external delay was added."
