🪚 Roland JP-8000 🪚 🎧 (no talking) 🎧

video upload by Cutoff Frequency - gear stuff (no talking)

"This is a video demonstrating the sounds of the Roland JP-8000.

The JP-8000 caught my attention when I started digging into the whole super saw concept. As a relative newcomer to the dutch hardcore scene I was blown away by this fat, yet aggressive sound. The JP-8000 was the first to incorporate it and, although subtle, it's directness is unrivaled. And it is capable of so much more. I feel the sounds are dated, but still relevant. A bit contradictory, I know. I recently recapped the unit, but unfortunately, directly after this demo, the right channel went very dim. I guess I need to open it up again. Build quality is lacking a bit, but with a little tlc this unit is one of my favorites.

Thanks my love for playing so beautifully."

Ambient 0 v1.5 - Microtonal Ambient Techno Jam

video upload by ChrisLody

"So Sonicware dropped a new firmware update for the Ambient 0 on Friday which fixes bug and adds a bunch of new features, main details below.

So this jam uses the Noise channel to process external audio by filtering it and panning it around, plus the hands on control for that is great fun. I've also dialled in a Pure Minor temperament and I'm using the new Osc Level target to create an envelope like decay using a one shot LFO. Hopefully you'll be able to hear some of the new temperament in this, particularly in the melody line. Because of the way temperaments work (video soon) they all need a root note assigning to them and this can be abused to get things even more wonky which is what I've done here by setting it to Ab which I'm sure is the wrong key. All in all some very nice additions which make the Amb0 even more appealing to me."

Prototype 8 Voice Roland Jupiter 6

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this listing

Pics of the inside below.

"This is one of likely one Roland Jupiter 6 with 8 voices. It was a custom project made by Roland engineers in the 80s. Usually the JP-6 has a 2 voice board and a 4 voice board, but this one has custom code and a fully populated second 4 voice board for more polyphony or two 4 voice splits. It also has a custom RAM mod that gives you 3x the patch banks for more patch storage.

The synth itself is in good shape. There are a handful of slider caps that don't match (from Juno 106 and JX3P) but that's only cosmetic. It is fully functional with no issues.

If you want something nobody else has, this is it."

SOR Revolution JP8000 Vol.2

video upload by SoundsOfRevolution

"https://www.sounds-of-revolution.com/...

The Soundset 'SOR Revolution JP8000/8080 Vol. 2' comes with 64 brand new patches for Electro-/Trance-/Techno-productions.

Containing wonderfully rich analog-sounding patches (Kraftwerk / J.M.Jarre style), ultra fat & crystal clear sparkling trance leads, luscious warm pads, crazy effect sounds and lots of trendy, faaaaat & powerful sounds to rock the clubs ! – As always you won’t find any boring brass/piano/flute patches here! – You know what I mean…

Some awesome sound reproductions of well-known artists are included as well. The variety of the patches is enormous.

NOTE: We programmed 2 versions of this set! One JP8000 and a special JP8080 version that uses the new functions of the rack unit like NOISE at OSC 2…it sounds amazing!

We really have gone all out to bring you cutting-edge sound programming which gets the max out of this fantastically FAT sound engine!

As in V1, we have avoided clicks in the attack – the typical JP-problem. Furthermore, every sound can be altered by modulation (ribbon controller, velocity assigned…) – sometimes drastically!

For us the Roland JP8000 / 8080 is one of the greatest synths out there! So what are you waiting for? Revolutionize your JP now.

Revolution JP8000/8080 Vol.2 is the perfect completion to Vol. 1 which has been completely revised! Only some Emagic Logic Reverb was added at the mp3 demo."

Click the auction link on top when you get there for additional listings.

"This original Jupiter-6 was sold in the April auction, but the buyer got into financial difficulties and here it is, back at VEMIA for a second bite of the cherry. (It actually never left the building.) It's a great sounding synth and iconic, too, as the joint first synth to feature MIDI.
As an added bonus, this example, serial number 260387, comes from Orbital with signed provenance. The one break with tradition is that the end cheeks have been replaced with wooden ones. Very good overall condition for something of this age. One of the little illuminated switches (for the LPF) is partly broken but still works fine. UK/Euro voltage - you'll just need an IEC lead for your country. Packing 18GBP."

"Roland Jupiter 4. In excellent condition (one slider cap missing) The first Jupiter synth. It was among one of the first poly synthesizers (4 individual voices which could be synced together for one fat monophonic lead) Super slow LFO for Sweeping chords and an amazing arpeggio tha'ts endless fun when synced to a drum machine via the arp trigger. A wonderful Synth and the better sound Jupiter, in my collection for over 20 years."
