Roland Jupiter 6 & RE-301 Chorus Echo
YouTube via zibbybone
"Sort of a "two in one" demo for your viewing pleasure. One of my favorite things about the Jupiter 6 is its resonant mulit-mode filter. I've got the JP-6 set up in split mode with a 2 voice unision bass sound and a 4 voice polyphonic lead/pad both using bandpass filters. This JP-6 has the Europa upgrade which adds enhanced MIDI capabilities and imroves on the built in arpeggiator. A neat feature added to the arp is a polyrhyt mode. A single note will repeat at standard tempo. As you add notes, the clock is divided for each note. Kind of hard to explain, but watch and see. I forgot to turn off the RE-301's reverb at the beginning, but I soon switch to a completely dry signal. I then add the reverb, chorus (very nice for pads) and lastly the tape echo. If you listen in stereo (might have to add "&fmt=18" without quotes to the end of the URL), the direct signal & reverb are in left channel, tape echo in right and chorus in both. You can hear some pretty extreme wow and flutter on the echo in some parts. I hope I just need a new tape and not a new motor."
