"PPG & Unify" by Smark April 2020

Published on Apr 10, 2020 Smark - Markus Stadelmann

"Except the drums I used all the great VSTi plugins from Wolfgang Palm inside the new Unify from PlugInGuru where also the PPG Arptor is running, as well as in Cubase directly. Enjoy and all the best, Smark

Ausser den Drums benutzte ich die tollen VSTi Plugins von Wolfgang Palm innerhalb des Plugins Unify von PlugInGuru, indem auch der Arptor läuft, wie auch direkt in Cubase. Viel Spaß und alles Gute, Smark"

Roland JD-990 | The Best Roland Module Ever?

In 1993 Roland released the JD-990, a synth module that has grown into a cult phenomenon. Many hail this as the greatest Roland synth module ever.
As with the JD-800, the 990 was forgotten at first. Few people saw the potential as it came between the popular JV-80 (and module 880) in 1992 and the mega popular Super JV-1080 that came in 1994.

Compared to the JD-800 this enhances pretty much everything. Some key differences are:

- More waveforms, 195 vs 108 on the 800
- The ability to pan each TONE individually, essential to make it so wide and lush
- A matrixed modulation setup
- Oscillator sync
- Effect structures
- Filter can self-oscillate
- Delays can be tempo synced to MIDI
- You can add a random modulation to a sound, sort of emulate drifting oscillators
- One slot for adding a SR-JV expansion card (the famous SR-JV80-04 vintage card comes to mind)

Leather & Wool Roland Authorized Performer, All-Access Jacket (Medium) For Sale

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

via this auction

This is the jacket recently posted here. It's worth noting only one other has gone up for sale, back in 2014 here. If you wanted one this might be your best chance at getting one.

"Roland Authorized Performer, All-Access Jacket (Medium). Condition is Pre-owned. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.

From what I was able to gather, this jacket was part of a limited lot around 1990 selling for around $400. Otherwise I'm not positive on its history, but I've only ever seen one other like it myself.

Decent option for synth collectors or general fans of Roland. That being said, material is cowhide and wool, so it makes for a strong and insulated apparel option as well.

The leather sleeves have some light signs of wear, most notable being a small scratch near one shoulder, and little creases in the elbow region of the other arm. Nothing too distinguishable from any sort of distance though, as seen by the pictures."

"Bought it used , the synth looked like it had lived, the signature almost gone, side scratch, after a year owning the filter knob wasn’t working the same, I sent it to Tom Oberheim himself to fixed it! I have email proof,so this synth is solid."
