"Restored by Rosen Sound out in LA 2 yrs ago. Recapped, functionality confirmed and all circuits calibrated. Works and sounds great.
Note that I have this listed together with the 101 and 104 as well [listed here & pics captured here]. Happy to sell all 3 units together or any of the 3 separately."
"8 horror movie theme covers performed with a variety of classic 80s and 90s synths, samplers and drum machines.

"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.
"Sale includes all 3 units pictured. 101, 102, 104. Restored by Rosen Sound in LA 2 yrs ago. Power supplies all Recapped and all units calibrated and confirmed as working well. Only issue I know of is that the LFO shape button on the 103 is very tight and hard to change but it still works fine. I’m asking what I paid."
"Universal Sequencer on the right is master and the one on the left is synced to it. Otherwise it’s an equivalent of two Synthi AKS playing side by side. No additional effects used."
"I was messing around and came up with this nostalgic old school trance jam. Then I had the idea of sampling my voice from one of my meditation classes and added it in.
This is the result. I hope you enjoy it and happy new year to you all."
"Vintage Roland System 100 101 keyboard. Owned this for years (I own 2). Originally bought from Japan. Due to its age (50) the paint is showing some age which is unfortunately very common with this particular model of Roland Synths. This is an excellent mono synth, and very powerful. This is the building block of the Roland System 100 series which includes the 101,102,103,104 and the 109 speakers."
"The Novation Nova Desktop is over 25 years old — yet it’s still used, discussed, and loved by many electronic musicians.
In this video, I take an honest and critical look at the Nova from today’s perspective:
its sound engine, workflow, modulation depth, strengths, limitations, and how it compares to other late-90s virtual analog classics like the JP-8000 and Access Virus.
This is a pure hardware-focused review.
There are no VST comparisons, no modern software emulations, and no plug-ins involved.
The goal is to evaluate the Nova as what it is: a standalone hardware synthesizer with its own character.
Whether you’re into trance, techno, ambient, or classic electronic sounds — this review looks at why the Nova still matters in 2025.
