ROLAND JUPITER-6 220V WITH EUROPA v2.0 MOD SN 343748

"The Europa v2.0 upgrade was so worth the money. It adds so many great features which can be read here...

In 2015 I re-calibrated the synthesizer as per the Roland service notes. Improvement was heard instantly with more consistency across all VCO's, Filters and PWM settings.

The metal end piece just to the right of the top most key had been "re-engineered" in the past by a previous owner. When I bought the synth, there was a poorly repaired slot in the piece which I re-repaired and repainted the piece. It is not the exact colour as the rest of the Jupiter, but it is close and I'm just mentioning it so you know everything there is to know.

There are a few chips to the paintwork on the face shown in the photos. The aluminium end pieces have a few nicks, but overall, very good condition. The synthesizer has remained in good care in my home. Close up photos show these.

It all works perfectly, no scratchy pots or sliders, no missing caps, nothing bent or broken."

Tasty Chips GR-1 Granular Synthesizer Stretch Goal Tease

Published on Sep 28, 2017 Tasty Chips

"The keyboard is split in 2 octaves. The higher octave plays within the area of a drumloop sample. The other one is playing in the area of a synth sample. Within the drumloop sample, the sample position is mapped to MIDI notes, so you can map a note to the snare position for example. This is a quick hack to test multitimbral possibilities and is not even close to be polished and included, but we will work this out when the next stretch goal is reached!! :)"

ROLI Introduces the next generation Lightpad Block: Super Sonic Surface

Published on Sep 28, 2017 ROLI

"The Lightpad M is the next-generation Lightpad Block from ROLI. The 225 microkeywaves on its soft silicone surface create an even more precise and sensitive playing experience. Play any kind of electronic or acoustic sound on a super sonic surface that fits in the palm of your hand. And connect more Blocks together to expand your instrument.

Touch even deeper musical textures

The redesigned interface of the Lightpad M builds on the touch-responsive powers of the original Lightpad Block. Lightpad M’s surface is deeper, softer, and defined by undulating microkeywaves — for an even more precise playing experience.

Enhanced tactile feedback

Based on the wave-like surface of ROLI's Seaboard instruments, the 225 microkeywaves of the Lightpad M add more tactile feedback, so you can interact with the surface in a deeper way and gauge each movement more precisely. A thicker, softer silicone layer enhances pressure-responsiveness.

Enhanced visual feedback

The surface of the Lightpad M is 50% brighter than the original Lightpad Block. It features higher-definition colors and a higher contrast display, so you can move more quickly between notes, instruments, and scales."

The Roland JP8000 ~ the most expressive synth ever? (sounds edits 2017)

Published on Sep 28, 2017 Robert A.

"Here are a few edits from the year 2017. Unfortunately these sounds are not available to the public. You'll have to play around with your JP8000 and in doing so, you'll come across some fantastic results. It's such a deep and expressive keyboard that totally holds it's own in today's market. It's one of my all time favourite keyboards. Even with a Nord Lead 3 and a Multimoog in my arsenal, this is the go to synth for me."

3 Modules #25: Rings, Clouds, Ears

Published on Sep 28, 2017 Comparative Irrelevance

"This week's video is a two-parter. First I had a go at using an inverted gate from Ears to create an 'automatically latching drone' with Clouds. But then it felt like a missed opportunity to not flip it around and go from Clouds into Rings instead of the other way around, so I went back and recorded a second part. I think part 2 sounds more interesting, but part 1 had a little bit more going on patch-wise so here they both are.

Patch notes:

In part one I'm sending audio from Ears' contact microphone through Rings' resonator and then into Clouds. I'm "cheating" a tiny bit with the Quadratt to invert Ears' gate output, so that the gate goes high when the audio signal is low (instead of the opposite). I'm then using this inverted gate to freeze Clouds whenever the audio goes below the gate threshold. In other words, Clouds will unfreeze the buffer whenever I tap Ears hard enough, and then immediately freeze the buffer again.

Finally, I'm using Clouds own audio outputs to modulate position and size. Using an audio signal like this is virtually like randomizing those parameters.

For part two I flip Clouds and Rings around, and instead send audio from Ears into Clouds, freeze it, and then process the output with Rings' resonator. Pretty simple, but very cool way to make some moody "dark ambient"-esque drones. I'm changing a lot of the parameters manually here, but you could just as well use CV modulation to make it interesting over time. I especially recommend using a slow LFO to modulate Clouds' position – sweeping through the recorded buffer.

Thanks for watching!"
