Roland MKS-80 :: Warm Pads

video upload by Harry van Mierloo

"The Roland MKS-80 isn't known as a typical analog pad machine like the JX-8P or the MKS-70, but still its VCOs are capable of creating some wonderful pads. I couldn't find many pad demos of the MKS-80 online, because most demos contain the powerful analog sounds that the Jupiter-series is so famous for. So I decided to record a few soft pads chords on the MKS-80 for the synth community. As its output is mono, I've added a bit of chorus and reverb from the SQ-5 to spice up the pads.

Played using the Moog Voyager as an expensive MIDI controller using its mod wheel to control the filter, but the fact that you hear polyphonic sounds and see a blinking green MIDI on the blurry MKS-80 in background is the ultimate evidence that you actually hear the MKS-80. ;-)

Enjoy, I hope you'll like it!"

Roland JX-8P :: Warm Pads

video upload by Harry van Mierloo

"Testing a new Camlink-based camera setup. Just made my first JX-8P patch ever, so I thought I might as well record it at the same time. Strymon BigSky on reverb, recording using Elgato Cam Link 4K.

Disclaimer: I'm a sequencer-guy, so live playing is not my greatest asset. ;-)"

Roland JX-8P :: Neon Egg Planetarium 3 :: Ambient Pads

video upload by Harry van Mierloo

"Just received my Planetarium 3 from ‪@neon_egg‬ today and my first impressions are really good. Top quality reverb with flexible echo that can be used in both a super extreme and very subtle way, so highly usable and musical. I couldn't wait to send some soft warm ambient pads from my beloved Roland JX-8P through this nifty machine, and I decided to record a little video of it.

Didn't have cables available to place the Planetarium inside the camera view, but its exact reverb and echo settings are visible at the end of the video. As you can see the compressor was off... for now! 😅

Setup for the gear junkies: JX-8P connected directly to the Planetarium, and the Planetarium outputs directly to my recording device (A&H SQ-5)."

MDLR JAM 03 - Live 5U Modular Session

video upload by rimela

"A live-recorded modular improvisation shaped around a bleak, dystopian atmosphere. Phaser-washed Polysix pads set the mood. Clock and triggers come from the Roland TR-505, driving the system in sync.
Captured in one take – no edits, no overdubs – just the patch unfolding in real time."

"Learning to harness the full potential of this incredible machine - what it can do with samples, how to make creative use of layers, control knobs and morph parameters.

The analogue drive paired with the analog voices is bliss!

Check out my sample packs on Bandcamp - loads of vintage and modern gear (leaning towards drum machines) with kits, sample chains and presets. All ethically-sourced and locally-grown here in the lab in Bristol, UK: https://lostlvls.bandcamp.com/"

"'Racing the Edge at Mach GoGoGo'

This music was recorded live late afternoon on Saturday December 27 2025 using a MIDI sequencer and a room full of synthesizers.

Inspired by a 60's cartoon series.

Music was sequenced and automated with a Akai MPC X sequencer and a iConnectivity mioXL MIDI router.

Audio was mixed through a Midas Venice F24 mixer into a MOTU Ultralite mk5 audio interface.

The following devices were used to for drums and percussion layers.
Korg Radias, Roland SH4d, Electron Analog Rytm Mk II, Novation BassStation II."

Delphium cover on RX5 and TX802

video upload by Collector Current

"In this video I show you how I made a cover of the Aphex Twin song 'Delphium' from the album Selected Ambient Works 85-92.

Just like with my cover of 'Aegispolis', I used the Yamaha RX5 with custom samples loaded on an RX5USB board, and a Yamaha TX802 sequenced by the Roland MSQ-700.

JE-8086 Is OUT NOW – FREE Roland JP-8000 clone!

video upload by Autodafe

Note it requires a ROM of the OS.

"JE-8086 is now available as a public Beta, and in this video I take a closer, more technical look at the current state of the synth. I previously covered JE-8086 during its Alpha phase, and this update shows what has evolved and how the instrument behaves now that it’s opened up to everyone.

The video focuses on the **dual-part architecture (Part A / Part B)**, explaining how the two parts can be configured with different patches and used simultaneously inside a track. I walk through how each part can be treated independently, making JE-8086 suitable for layered sounds, splits, or performance-style switching within a single instance.

I also demonstrate how to *set up and use automation* for both parts of the synth, showing practical examples of parameter automation inside the DAW. This includes controlling sound-shaping parameters over time and managing automation lanes when working with the dual-engine structure.

JE-8086 is a 1:1 emulation of the original Roland JP-8000, built by The Usual Suspects and aiming for cycle-accurate behavior. The architecture, signal flow, and character closely follow the original hardware, making this one of the most faithful JP-8000 recreations currently available in software form.
