Hands-Free Experimental iOS Jam

video upload by Perplex On

"Hands-free setup using #musikraken app running on my old iphone6s for handtracking, converting the x-position to midi cc and sending these values over bluetooth to #idensity on the ipad. So it’s possible to scrub through the sounds by waving the hands."

Roland JX-08 SEQUENCING (You're Allowed to Dance!)

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"Roland JU-06A, JP-08, JX-03, SH-01A, SE-02 #ambient patches 👉 https://www.albaecstasy.ro

I was jamming with the Roland JX-08 on this beautiful and sunny - but cold - morning of Saturday, with two modified factory presets, testing the #sequencer, and it sounded too good not to recording it and share it with you!

This recording starts with PART B - a bass sequence that has a mono delay (dly1) on it.
PART A starts two minutes later, having a stereo delay (dly2) and the reverb (hall2) as effects.
No external effects were involved.

I recorded this session via USB Audio, on all the available audio channels that the Roland JX-08 comes with: the master - that includes the two Parts and the reverb also in one stereo channel, and I also kept each individual stereo channel of the two parts - that only have the delay as effect, resulting the original master output of the Roland JX-08, but backed by the individual channels!

Synopsis:
Even my first choice was the Roland JD-08, since I always wanted a full size Roland JD-800, as I was waiting for my order to be delivered (about 14 weeks starting in November 2021!), I changed my mind and found this beauty on stock, locally (thanks Jutas!)!
I had a Roland JX-8P on my hands, a few years ago, and maybe it was a (bad) repaired unit, since the sound was really unattractive (had some knob and functions replacements on the panel), and that kind of made me to be reserved with the JX-08.
...Until I played my friend's Roland JX-8P, a near mint unit, and that's was all: the sweetness and warm of the sound made me want to have such a synth in my studio (but I'm not gonna pay the crazy prices from the SH market!).

Conclusion:
Maybe the sound of the #RolandJX08 is not the same with the original, but I really don't care: the extras that are packed in it, makes the JX-08 perfect for my studio!
Arpeggiators, sequencers, a bunch of great effects, dual and split playing, 3 types of filters and so on!

Oh, and yes: my next move is the Roland JD-08! Definitely!

Roland System 8 does acid: A TB-303 style adventure

video upload by MIDERA

"I don't have a Roland TB-303, but I guess I always wanted one. Somehow while messing around with the Jupiter 8 plug-out tonight, I made this sound that felt like it could have come from a TB-303... well, maybe not? I don't know. Seemed close enough to me.

Then I decided to throw a beat on top of it. Then I decided to add another bass line with the SH-101, and then I just decided to make some other things to go along with it and well - this is the boring track I came up with just to show off the Roland System 8 doing acid.

Spectralis 2 - Sequencing
Elektron Machinedrum MKII - Drums
Virus TI - Pads
Roland SH-101 - Bass
Sequential Prophet 10 - keys
Roland System 8 - TB-303 ish sound

Eventide Blackhole VST on most parts."

"Waldorf Quantum Split mode Demo - This synth sounds great

Quantum in split mode. No samples were used and everything was recorded live without any external processing. This is an answer to people saying that this synth sounds poor :)

Thank you !

Fenix II D

video upload by splitradix

"A new version of the Fenix II called the Fenix II D
This version uses CEM3340s for the oscillators and has a slightly different BBD delay as well as a built in power supply.

All synth sounds are from the Fenix II D (dry at the start and then with some delay and reverb from an Eventide H8000).
Drums from a TR909.
Small bit of compression from an API 2500.
Fenix II D sequenced by the Fenix III with the Cirklon helping out and the SND ACME as the master clock."

Moog Polymoog 280A and Roland JX3P synth Jam for Jamuary 14 2022

video upload by

"Todays little melody had me pull out some of my old favorites. The JX3P was my first synth I purchased back in 1999 with the programmer and a hard case for only 200 bucks! How times have changed. Somehow I still think its underrated in the world of synth music, it really is that classic roland sound. The Polymoog 280A is definitely one of the more interesting synths I own, traded for it some 5 years ago for a guitar. My logic was there's way more guitars made than Polymoogs, and while it doesn't do as much as the 203 for the Vox Humana setting alone its worth it.
For some reason a lot of my jams this month seem to go towards an eerie chord progression. I don't know why? In any case I had fun making up this little melody and I hope you like it."

Roland JD-08 Ambient Improvisation

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"I got the new Roland JD-08 synthesizer. It is modeled after the JD800 which I had in my setup years ago. In this improvisation I am using four audio tracks with the "Looper" device of Ableton Live. I can control the Looper and volume with the Midi fighter Twister. Each vertical line of four knobs controls one track. All patches were designed by myself. Effects are Valhalla DSP Delay and Valhalla DSP Vintage Verb."

"Here's an interesting one-of-a-kind synth. We bought this from a customer who was into DIY electronics. He always admired the design of the ARP 2500 but couldn't find one, so he built his own! Well, kind of. He bought MFOS Music From Outer Space circuit boards and assembled the circuits. He made his own front panels to look similar to those on the arp2500 and wired them up. They're installed in a nice wooden cabinet he made as well.

This system is a real pleasure to play. If it doesn't sell, we're going to use it in our studio as a secret weapon, as it sounds great and quite different from our other synths.
