Roland JX-1 Performance Synth - realtime tweaking on a 90s Rompler. The best of „both worlds“


video upload by Ted murena

"The the Roland JX one is a 90s romper built as part of the JX series. This synthesiser gives the user a lot to control in their play mode but it is not a workstation and does not have a lot of ability to truly create brand new sounds effectively you are able to tweak the presets to come up with some pretty good useful sounds this has been used by many, techno and trance artist over the 90s as a nice entry synth and also a real usable playable instrument for those that may be more likely to be focused on DJ activities while making music."

Sequential Take 5, Moog Subharmonicon, Walrus Slöer - cinematic synth performance


video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I'm on a big kick right now in just playing the gear in front of me. Here, I brought out my favourite all-arounder, the Sequential Take 5, and paired it with the Moog Subharmonicon to create a little rhythm and arrangement. The Walrus Slöer adds reverb to the Subharmonicon; the Take 5's delay and reverb are both from its internal effects.

It's incredible how the Subharmonicon can quickly inspire some chords, and how the Take 5 can take you from an idea to a finished song with just a little tweaking.

Thanks for listening.

Performed and recorded live, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.
