"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."

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."

DX5 performing Robert Miles "Children" (90's Dream music)

video upload by DX5

MATRIXSYNTH T! :)

"One of the most influential tracks from the 90's, where dream music was ruling together with progressive for a time.

Gear used:
Roland MRS2 Promars
Roland JP8000 (used mainly for backtrack. Triggering a soft synth when playing live)
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).

Original track composed by Roberto Concina (Robert Miles).
Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara"
