JP-8000 vs Nord Lead A1 vs Access Virus B — Which One Do You ACTUALLY Need?

video upload by Marc Renton

"The elephant in the room: Roland JP-8000, Clavia Nord Lead A1, and Access Virus B: Three legendary hardware synths from the late 90s/2000s that still hold up today. But which one is worth your money in 2026?

In this video, I go hands-on with all three machines from my studio, playing patches, presets, and sounds I programmed myself. No script, no BS — just honest thoughts after owning these synths for up to 21 years.

What you'll learn:
JP-8000: SuperSaw magic, but what are the real limitations of the filter?
Nord Lead A1: Why it's my go-to synth — and why the Moog filter is a game changer
Access Virus B: The all-in-one machine with 24-voice polyphony... and where it hits a wall
Should you buy hardware or use emulations? (honest take)

These are timeless machines. This knowledge will be valid in 10 or 20 years. Maybe some plugins won't exist by then — but these synths will.

Mesmorum | Spectralis sequencing the Prophet 10, Minimoog, SH-101, Virus TI IDM Jungle

video upload by MIDERA

"After my adventure with the MKS-80, I wanted to write something with my Spectralis. This is that track.

Further... I think this is where I may conclude my time with the Sequentix Cirklon 2... A lovely thing, but - I don't think it's for me. The Spectralis is too 'home' for me.

Recorded April 25, 2026

Radikal Technologies Spectralis 2: Drums, sequencing, strings
Access Virus TI: arps
Prophet 10: Bass (comes in later)
Roland SH-101: Bass (first)
Moog Minimoog: (Bass, second)
NI Raum: Reverb

A Visiting Roland System 100 !

video upload by Circuit 3

"A good friend has left their Roland System 100 model 101 keyboard/synth + model 104 sequencer with me for a few weeks. I was curious to try it with the DinSync TR808 which is sending trigger to the 104 sequencer while I play random chords on the Prophet 10. A quick improvisation."

Roland RS202 through Baloran The3FX, the incredible new chorus which replaces and surpasses The Triko which was already a reference.
Recorded through a Machie 8BUS and a Focusrite Scarlett. No other effects used."
