Roland JD-800 Sound Demo | 90s Synth Magic – Favorite Sounds

video upload by RetroSound

"legendary Roland JD-800! 🎹✨

In this sound demo, I’m playing several of my favorite sounds on this beautiful early-90s synthesizer, showcasing the unmistakable character and atmosphere of the Roland JD-800.

Released in 1991, the Roland JD-800 quickly became one of the most iconic digital synthesizers of its era. With its hands-on controls, powerful PCM sounds and unmistakable 90s character, it remains a favorite among synth enthusiasts, musicians and producers today.

In this video, you’ll hear the JD-800 in action through a selection of classic sounds that I personally love. No complicated technical breakdown — just the beautiful sound of this legendary synthesizer.

If you love vintage synthesizers, Roland keyboards, 90s electronic music and classic synth sounds, I hope you enjoy this little journey back in time."

Kurzweil PC1x
Backtrack previously recorded from scracth on Pro Tools, instrument by instrument, (no original sound was used. Considering a natural piano sound is the main frame of the song, covers of this one are commonly misidentified by YouTube as originals whereas the are not).

GRB Basic Kick & GRB Hi-Hat || Modular DEMO

video upload by bajjjan records

CYMBAL

Sound is synthesized by a system of oscillators based on Schmitt triggers, that recreates the classic, complex sound of an analog cymbal. The sound is synthesized by a system of oscillators based on Schmitt triggers, operating at different frequencies. The mixing of these signals creates the rich, chaotic, and metallic spectrum.

You have direct control over the resulting texture. The TUNE knob shifts the overall frequency range of the metallic noise, while DECAY sets the length of the sound's wash and sizzle. The TONE control further shapes the character of the ringing, allowing you to fine-tune the brightness and timbre. This combination of controls lets you sculpt everything from a short, bright metallic click to a long, decaying noise.

For dynamic performance, the module features an ACC input (0V to +5V) to modulate the accent level and is triggered via the standard GATE input (+5V to +12V). The final, complex cymbal sound is available at the OUT jack.

A Private Virtual Roland D-70 for Linux! | Sound Demo

video upload by PixelWings

"I’ve always loved vintage Roland synthesizers and wanted a D‑70, but concerns about dealing with the dreaded maintenance nightmares the D-70 is known for kept me from buying one. Eventually, I decided to make my own software recreation: D‑70v.

This is a private, completely unofficial hobby project running on Linux, created for the pleasure of exploring and playing the wonderful D‑70 sounds. The GUI interface was drawn from scratch in GIMP, inspired by the original keyboard’s front panel, with functional buttons, sliders and a data wheel. The aim was to recreate not just the sound, but the experience of operating the instrument -but optimized for a computer screen as well as being able of running on an absolute potato. The core application is approximately 450 KB, excluding the required ROM data, and CPU usage is extremely low.

This video brings together a selection of my favorite D‑70 factory patches. I spent some time playing through the factory bank and later edited my favorite moments into this demonstration. It is simply an opportunity to enjoy the sounds and share my excitement about bringing this instrument into software. All instrument sounds and effects heard in this demonstration are generated by D‑70v itself. No external synthesizers or effects were used; the clips were simply selected, edited and faded together.

This is not an official Roland product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Roland. It is purely a demonstration, not a software release. The project uses original Roland ROM data, and I am keeping it private. Neither the software nor the ROM data is being distributed, so please don’t request a copy.

Above all, this is a celebration of the D‑70 and an era of digital synthesis that I love. I adore vintage Roland, especially their legacy of late 80s and early 90s instruments, from the pro range to the "DTM" products. I hope you enjoy the demo, and please excuse my lack of playing skills."

Drum & Bass at Sunset 🌅 LIVE Electronic Hardware Session

video upload by imagination.project

"🌅 A new Drum & Bass live session performed at sunset by the Black Sea in Odesa, Ukraine.

Built live with Elektron Digitakt II, Digitone and Roland S-1 🎛️ — melodic DnB, deep bass, psychedelic synth textures and evolving hardware sequences.

This time I also brought Virus synth sounds into the track, adding a deeper psychedelic character to the mix. 🌀

Roland S-1 takes a special role in the transitions, creating wild evolving effects and sequences, while Digitakt II and Digitone drive the groove, bass and melodic layers.

🌊 One of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve captured for an Imagination.Project session — electronic music, psychedelic sound and the Black Sea coming together in one live performance.

Recorded on the Black Sea coast in Odesa, Ukraine. 🇺🇦"
