New Mini Roland JP-08 Image Leaked

Update: new post with all three new Roland Boutique synths here.

Rumor is it will run $300.

Follow-up to this post.


One of the three upcoming Roland Boutique Mini synths. This one clearly modeled on the classic Roland Jupiter-8.

Looks like fun to me!

Thoughts?

Update: below is the front panel of a Jupiter-8 from this post, so we can compare them.

Differences:
- The LFO on the new JP-8 has additional waveforms.
- VCO-1 Range has additional 16 and 32 settings.
- VCO-1 has additional waveforms but appears to lose the triangle waveform for two sinewaves.
- VCO-2 Range extends from 16 to 64.
- VCO-2 Waveforms match VCO-1 but instead of noise there appears to be something else.
- On the JP-08 the two ENV Key Follows are moved to one switch with the four possible combinations of key follow for both envelopes, ENV-1 only, ENV-2 only, or Off.
- The arpeggiator on the Jupiter-8 appears to have been replaced with a sequencer on the JP-08.
- There are two Poly modes on the Jupiter-8. The JP-08 has one Poly button. Not sure if both modes are supported.
- The lower and upper hold buttons are absent from the JP-08.
- The JP-08 is missing the master Volume, Balance, and Master Tune knobs. Curious how you adjust volume on it - the VCA Level slider?
- The JP-08 adds two touch strips.

Everything else pretty much looks spot on.

" Vermona DRM1 MKIII analog drum synthesizer with original box and manual. 8 channels of drum sounds with individual and mix outputs. Midi controlled.

Info from Vermona:
The DRM1 MKIII is an analogue drum synthesizer.

It offers eight instruments, each with seven knobs for forming the sound plus a panorama- and a volume-controller. The user interface is absolutely clear and intuitive - one knob, one function.

The instruments on the DRM1 MKII are as following:

KICK
Mainly but not only for making big and fat kick drums.
DRUM1 and DRUM2
Very flexible instruments that can generate kick- and tom sounds a s well as bongos. Anything from zapp to bling and fantastic PIUU...
MULTI
Three oscillators can be detuned and gives you nice cowbell-like sounds. If you like submarines you can create a nice sonar ping.
SNARE
What can we say about that? Well, you get what you expect.
Hi Hat1 and Hi Hat2
That's analogue (heavy- or soft-) metal.
CLAP
Classic analogue hand claps.
The instruments of the DRM1 MKIII can be triggered by MIDI (of course velocity-sensitive). Beside the main outputs each channel is equipped with an individual output that also can be used as an channel insert.

This is an amazing analog drum synth. I sequenced this with a Korg ER-1 which worked very well. Works equally well with software sequencers and other MIDI sequencers."

Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s (Loop #115)

Published on Sep 19, 2015 alternatingbitmusic

"Can't stop loving this analog beast. Can't stop sharing the love.
Here's a rather grungy loop that almost sounds like a guitar with distortion, all via the Leipzig-s. Slight spring verb and delay added. Key control via the Akai MPK61."

"First real jam on my Synthesizers.com format modular. I'm using a square wave to switch between slow/fast rhythms and envelopes. The Q960 takes care of the bassline which I'm switching manually between sections (all out of switches!)"
