Pure Data with Yamaha TX7

"Pure Data controlling a Yamaha TX7 module."

Side note: The TX7 was a desktop wedge version of the DX7 minus the ability to program it via the front panel. You could however program it via MIDI, or rather a DX7, when it was released. You can now edit it via external editors like Pure Data in this case. It was my second synth after the Oberheim Matrix-6. I ended up trading it for a Sequential Circuits Multi-Trak, because I wasn't able to edit it through the front panel, and back then there were no software editors for it.

Roland JV-880 Analog Synth Sounds Demo & Comparison with the JD-990

Published on Jan 25, 2018 synthlegends

"No typical 90ies stuff, no pianos, no whistles, no mallets and bells.

Just great emulations of analog and classic synths of the 70ies and 80ies, like Minimoog, Mellotron, Solina, Prophet 5, CS-80, OBXa, Jupiter 8, Juno and only typical sounds, like Basses, Leads, Pads, Strings, Brasses, Sequences and so on.

I only recorded one patch at the same time, no performances and no overdubbing. I used only the JV-880 with the Expansion Card JV80 4 Vintage Keys.

There are only custom sounds and some sounds from this expansion card. Everything is played life without midi. There are no additional effects and mastering.

Of my opinion the JV-880 is the best sounding synth from the complete JV series and a really great very underrated synth."

Roland JV-880 vs JD-990

Published on Jan 25, 2018 synthlegends

"Comparision of the two beast. IMO the JV-80/880 is the best of the JV series synthesizer soundwise. I just recorded the same Midi-Files with fist JV-880 and second JD-990. Sounds came from the Expansion Card JV-80 04 vintage keys, the first 28 patches."
