Rediscovering a Roland JV-1080: Ultimate Pad Synthesizer? | CONFORCE

Also see Roland JV1080 vs XV-5080 - Direct Comparsion by LFOstore
"About: Last year I really discovered that the Roland JV-1080/2080 XV XP synthesizers are inspiring sound design instruments. The JV/XP's are fun and cheap and really the proof that you don't need to buy expensive pro synthesizer equipment. The highly popular 90's module was widely used in many pop music records but it's actually quite useful for esoteric techno and electro. Many contemporary VST plug-ins are based on a similar approach of the classic romplers like the JV's. In this video I give you tips and tricks and insights in how you can re-vitalise your beloved preset player into a synth that you can actually program! I also share my honest thoughts about the synthesizer compared to the Roland Cloud VST. A great thing is that you can now use them combined in a really cool way... Check the video to find this out!
Programming the Roland JV-1080 is a lot of fun, when using both the interface and an editor you can really get inspiring results quickly. The JV's might look like bread and butter synths, in a way they are.. Unless you go beyond pizzicato, whacky piano waveforms. The JV's hold some cool waveforms for modern electronic music and you can also get some expansion cards for them (be aware they can be really crappy), only a few like the Vintage Expansion are worth the money.. Leave a comment if you like this video! Much appreciated"

Nord Drum 3P - Electronic Ambient Jam/Improvisation w/ KMI Soft Step 2 + Ableton Live
video upload by Jannis Le Wolff
"🥁 In this video I tried to use my new KMI Softstep 2 for the first time together with the Nord Drum 3P. Everything is controlled via Ableton Live and I also have the Launchpad Mini for small further controls. It's quite challenging to play this way, but it is really fun and allows very unique possibilities, that I will keep exploring in the future."

Listing description: "Here is a chance to get the rarest polyphonic synthesizer ever. I have never seen a nicer and cleaner Yamaha CS 80. This one has been completely repaired, cleaned, polished and reassembled!!! It has amazing features like eight voice polyphony, patch memory and polyphonic aftertouch. It can create great analog strings, horns, drones and pads with that instantly recognizable classic polysynth sound. No synthesizer sounds better. Some examples of its extremely fat sound can be heard in "Billy Jean" by Michael Jackson, "Blade Runner", "Mutiny on the Bounty" by Vangelis and in "Dune" by Toto. What made this synthesizer sound so powerful was its "natural" detuning.... so that its brass and string sounds were not only unparalleled in authenticity, but also in pure width! With two analog oscillators per voice, the CS-80 has the potential for some really thick sounds! A great VCF (filter) with independent high-pass and low-pass resonant filters, a powerful ring modulator, and a variety of modulation controls further expand the CS-80's sonic potential. There are 22 preset sounds (6 users) that can be selected with bright and shiny colored buttons above the keyboard. The keyboard is weighted and has a full 61 keys with performance controls for vibrato, pitch, brightness and volume. This synthesizer is truly museum quality!
