Roland D-50 vs D-110: Can You Hear the Difference?


video upload by Ian Dixon

"The Roland D-50 and Roland D-110 both come from Roland's late-80s Linear Arithmetic synthesis era, but do they actually sound the same? In this blind comparison I play similar D-50 and D-110 sounds side by side, including warm pads, Soundtrack, synth bells, electric pianos, synth brass, Fantasia/Fantasy style patches, and dual-layer sounds, then reveal which synth was which.

The D-50 is the classic performance synth behind so many iconic digital sounds, while the D-110 is the rackmount, multi-timbral workhorse built for MIDI studios. This test is about the real character of each instrument: the modulation, the shimmer, the effects, the PCM attack, and how close the D-110 can get to the D-50 in practice.

Free Roland D-50 Editor & Librarian – Edit Patches in Your Browser


video upload by Ian Dixon

"My free Roland D-50 Editor Librarian is a browser-based Web MIDI tool for backing up, browsing, importing and editing D-50 sounds without sending your patch data to the cloud.

In this video I show the full workflow from the YouTube transcript: connecting the D-50 over MIDI, enabling SysEx, reading the current edit buffer, opening a patch library, sending sounds to the synth, receiving a full bulk dump from the D-50, saving a library backup, importing SysEx banks, and editing classic D-50 patches such as Fantasia. The editor also makes it easier to work with the D-50's upper and lower tones, partials, PCM and synthesis structures, ring modulation, filter and amp envelopes, reverb, tuning and patch management.

The aim is to give the Roland D-50 a modern librarian/editor workflow: build a large library of card sounds and custom patches, search for sounds quickly, send patches to the edit buffer when recording, and avoid constantly swapping cards or managing small internal banks by hand.

He wasn't expecting that... Jupiter 8 vs Magnolia


video upload by Starsky Carr

"*Vintage legend vs modern contender — two 8-voice all-analogue polysynths, 45 years apart. I fully expected the Jupiter-8 to win this one. It didn't.*

I set out to score the Frap Tools Magnolia against the Roland Jupiter-8 across price, features, reliability, repairability and — the hard part — sound. Spoiler: it wasn't close on most of those, and then the sound test threw me a curveball I wasn't expecting.

Watch to the end for the verdict, and let me know in the comments which one you'd actually want on your desk.

*⏱ TIMESTAMPS*
0:00 – Two 8-voice analogue polys, 45 years apart
1:08 – Sound test begins: matching a big warm pad
2:56 – Filters, envelopes & adding pitch LFO
4:13 – PWM comparison
6:11 – Fat square bass & an acid bass
8:20 – FM face-off
11:30 – Wave folding (Jupiter-8 can't do this at all)
11:46 – High-pass filter tricks — the MS-20 move
12:29 – Pick Your Winner
14:31 – Final thoughts

*🔧 GEAR IN THIS VIDEO*
Frap Tools Magnolia — 8-voice all-analogue polysynth, thru-zero linear FM, wave folder, 16 modulation sources into 38 destinations
Roland Jupiter-8 — 8-voice all-analogue polysynth (1981)

SPACE 1oh1 (Roland SH-101 BLUE - 1oh1 Mod by Tubbutec, Roland Space Echo RE-201)


video upload by Acid Gray

"First time I set up the SH-101 for a random- arp jam in my studio after getting it (rather unexpected in the summer break) along with the Roland RE-201 Space Echo.

Recorded in a single take on 1010 BlueBox - Cloud Reverb added here on top or the spring reverb from the Space Echo.

I learned today, that the 101 can't generate a clock signal - here the LFO speed is used to trigger the arp (not the tightest tempo I have ever had, but I wanted to keep things simple).

Was seriously surprised about the variety you can get of it.
Thanks to ‪@tubbutec‬ for the superb development of the 1oh1 retrofit - I wouldn't wanna miss it and ‪@analogiapl‬ for the overhaul of this stunning unit.

Next take will be a combination of TR-808, SH-101 and a TB-303 ."

All the emulators are original work by TUS, except the SC-55 emulation core which is originally based on the work of NukeYKT."


"88Emu emulates the hardware inside most Sound Canvas modules and related earlier sound generators, used for retro gaming and DTM. It runs the original firmware on emulated CPUs and sound chips, including the firmware’s instrument selection, voice allocation, effects, MIDI handling and front-panel behavior. You supply the ROM images; they are not included.

88EmuPlayer is NOT a DAW-compatible plugin, but instead a standalone application for playing MIDI files and using those devices from a MIDI keyboard, sequencer or game. 88EmuCli uses the same emulation to render files to WAV offline using a command line interface, without having to wait for the song to play in real time."

SN 241230 via this eBay listing

"Here we have a prime example of classic analog goodness. The legendary Roland SH101, in blue with MGS-1 Mod Grip.

This particular example is in excellent condition. Everything works as it should. Even the battery posts look great and work. Rare to find such a classic SH in this condition.

Great bass / lead machine. So many hits made with this beast. Has a great sequencer / arpeggiator plus CV I/O. Use it as a sequencer for your other analog CV synths!

Comes with power supply. Check out the YouTube video attached to see and hear what this exact SH101 is all about."

BlueARP DM + Roland Integra7 First demo


video upload by graywolf2004ru

"Guess the track. This demo uses 6 instances in BlueARP DM to drive parts in Integra7. I also used iPad editor in Integra7 to select sounds for parts, no deep editing there, maybe changing FX levels here and there.

BlueARP DM was programmed using PC control app, the whole performance too about 2 hours to make and another 2 hours to polish.

I'm satisfied with Integra7 multitimbral performance, dedicated FX on each part is fantastic, guitar patches work fine with BlueARP."
