"(I don’t actually want to sell it, just told my wife I was going to, but I’m actually gonna keep it) But if you do want to pay me this ridiculous price for this then by all means it’s in Mint condition It’s my favorite synth and if you buy it I’ll just buy V another one right away lol Kept in a smoke free home! Also Included is 2 sound pack extensions from Roland worth $40 plus a few other extra sounds. Over 1000 extra sounds added"
"Roland #JD800 on #JUPITERxm - Quick performance, all sounds live on the Xm and from the new JD-800 Model Expansion installed on it (standard Xm drum track).
I had my doubts, but the JD-800 Model Expansion is very worthy of the JUPITER-X/Xm. It may not have analog roots, but it does have character and presence. I didn't expect it to map well to the JUPITER-X (let alone the Xm) controls, but Roland did an outstanding job here. After a few hours, it's quite smooth, especially with our friends 'Shift' and 'Function.'
Most important, I think it really brings an additional class of Tones to the X/Xm that were not there. There's a crisp-almost-crunchy feel to many of the waveforms that are undoubtedly digital but still really useful. And the new multi MFX effects? *chef's kiss* There are some gems in there that will take some time to explore, and it will be great to use them with other Models as well.

Iconic 1990s Digital Synth Now Available for the ZENOLOGY Software Synthesizer
and Select ZEN-Core Hardware Instruments
Los Angeles, CA, March 2,
2021 — Roland announces the JD-800 Model Expansion, the latest addition to the
ZEN-Core Model Expansion lineup available through Roland Cloud. Based on
Roland’s influential JD-800 hardware synthesizer released in 1991, the JD-800
Model Expansion celebrates the 30th anniversary of this vintage digital icon by
bringing it to modern players through the ZENOLOGY Software Synthesizer and
select Roland hardware instruments with the ZEN-Core Synthesis System.
In
an era dominated by preset-focused digital synths with limited hands-on
controls, the JD-800 brought the synthesizer world back to its roots with a
massive control-laden panel and an aggressively electronic sound palette. With
its retro workflow, evocative sounds, and powerful effects, the instrument
became a favorite for top electronic music producers through the ’90s and
beyond. Combining the original JD-800 waveforms with advanced modeling
techniques, the JD-800 Model Expansion captures the sonic behavior of its
vintage counterpart with 100-percent authenticity, coupled with deep
sound-shaping potential through a full recreation of the JD-800’s vast control
architecture.
The JD-800 Model Expansion is currently supported with
Roland’s ZENOLOGY and ZENOLOGY Pro software instruments and JUPITER-X and
JUPITER-Xm hardware instruments.
About ZEN-Core Model Expansions

Roland Jupiter-X - How to install Wave Expansions and Zen-Core Soundpacks
video by Roland Product Support
"In this video we demonstrate how to install wave Expansions and Zen-Core Soundpacks on the Jupiter-X."
True Trance Sounds V1 - Massive soundbank for Roland Zen Core family, which includes Zenology/Pro, Fantom, Jupiter X/XM, MC707/101, Zenbeat, RD-88, and Axe-Edge. The sound palette of this pack comes from the end of 90' and early 2000'. From beautiful Trance Plucks, powerful Leads, deep and strong basses to smooth Keys and floating Pads. It includes some of the most exciting sounds of those years, like Supersaw, M1 Bass. Of course not without more modern sounds, many of which you can hear here. It's the first true sound library that opens the full power of the Zen Core engine.
"Brief first go with the Neova ring MIDI controller from Enhancia Music, paired with the Roland/Studio Electronics SE-02 analogue monosynth and the K-25m controller (backed by the JUPITER-Xm for extra mood). The ring makes up for the K-25’s lack of mod and pitch, and I even use it to trigger some crossmod at the end."
"The Roland JUNO-60 helped define the sound of the ’80s and is highly prized for its vintage vibe and unmistakable character. Simply put, it’s the sound you hear in your head when you think of fat, punchy analog synthesizers.
With the JUNO-60 Software Synthesizer, you get the full authentic experience of this legendary keyboard in a modern software instrument for DAW-based music production. Roland’s PLUG-OUT format is also supported for computer-free operation via the SYSTEM-8 hardware synth, with all parameters automatically mapped to capture the hands-on JUNO-60 workflow.
The JUNO-60 Software Synthesizer is just the latest member of Roland Cloud’s Legendary series, which includes plug-in versions of the JUNO-106, JUPITER-8, TR-808, TR-909, D-50, and many other classics. Roland Cloud is also home to an ever-expanding collection of creative tools to keep your music flowing, including the powerful ZENOLOGY software synth, Model Expansions, Sound Packs, Zenbeats, and much more."
And the press release:
Iconic 1980s Polysynth Now Available as a Legendary Series Plug-In Through Roland Cloud
Los Angeles, CA, February 16, 2021 — Roland announces the JUNO-60 Software Synthesizer, the latest addition to the Legendary series of software-based Roland instruments available through Roland Cloud. The original Roland JUNO-60 hardware synth helped define the sound of ’80s music and is still highly prized for its vintage vibe and unmistakable character. With the JUNO-60 Software Synthesizer, the authentic experience of this influential keyboard is now available as a modern software instrument for Mac and Windows DAWs.
Released in 1982, the JUNO-60 was among the earliest models in Roland’s iconic JUNO series, and is an all-time favorite for many synth aficionados. With a winning formula of a single DCO, fat sub-oscillator, and characterful VCF—plus a massive swirling chorus effect—the instrument has found its way onto innumerable tracks through the years. Powered by Roland’s proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology, the software version recreates the sonic experience and approachable architecture of the JUNO-60 in startling detail, allowing users to craft rich, inspiring sounds with little effort.
The JUNO-60 Software Synthesizer fully captures the original’s balanced magic—including the odd quirks and charming limitations—and enhances it with useful modern additions. The filter has been modeled to perfection, and users have the ability to switch to the HPF circuit of the next-generation JUNO-106 and its characteristic bass bump. The oscillator range has also been extended, and there’s a second envelope for extra flexibility. Polyphony has been expanded to eight notes, with the option to limit it to the original’s six (or less) for an old-school vibe.
A huge part of the JUNO-60 sound is its lush chorus circuit. Like the original, the software version has two push-button chorus modes, plus a third “secret” mode accessed by pressing both buttons at once. Taking things further, there’s an additional chorus option with the sound of the vintage BOSS CE-1 pedal, along with a selection of reverb, delay, flanger, and overdrive effects.
The JUNO-60 Software Synthesizer is VST3, AU, and AAX compatible and also supports Roland’s PLUG-OUT format for computer-free operation with the SYSTEM-8 hardware synth. And for DAW-focused workflows, it’s possible to use the SYSTEM-8 or a Roland Boutique JU-06/JU-06A for one-to-one, hands-on control of the JUNO-60 plug-in.
The JUNO-60 Software Synthesizer is just the latest member of Roland Cloud’s Legendary series, which includes plug-in versions of other Roland classics like the JUNO-106, JUPITER-8, TR-808, TR-909, D-50, and more. Legendary titles are available with the Ultimate membership level of Roland Cloud. All paid levels – including Core and Pro – start with a free 30-day trial of Ultimate, allowing users to try out the JUNO-60 and all Ultimate features. In addition, any Roland Account holder can purchase Lifetime Keys for individual Legendary series titles. This provides unlimited access for as long as their account is active, even if they don’t have a Roland Cloud membership.

If you are curious why the JUNO-60 is available as a PLUG-OUT for the SYSTEM-8, but not the Jupiter-X or Jupiter-Xm, the SYSTEM-8 uses ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) technology, while the Jupiter-X and Xm use ABM (Analog Behaviour Modeling) via Roland's new ZEN-Core engine. The following touches on the differences between them.

"This is really just answering a few comments and questions I've received about the Cobalt 8 and Jupiter Xm... they both offer new takes on Virtual analog, but how have things progressed in the last 20 years? the Access Virus and Novation Supernova, both multitimbral VAs have been around since the late 90s ... so what's new?"

"How to approach sound design and editing this little marvel. It can do so much, but the interface is small compared to the options available - as are any hardware units that have complex engines. This is essentially like a Roland XV5080 (or JV1080 etc) with extra virtual analog oscillators and filters etc for modelling the classics. So the editing goes DEEP!"

"Roland’s new Grooveboxes (well new as of last year) just got a significant OS update to v1.5 and as a result they’ve come a long way since they were first introduced.
Gaz Williams and Nick Batt took a look at the MC-707 which is an 8-track groove box with tone tracks, drum tracks and Looper tracks.
At the heart of both the MC boxes is the Zen Core engine. This is common to many new Roland machines - the Jupiter X and Xm and the AX Edge specifically (though without the synth specific expansion engines) and as such can share the basic core patches across all models, including integration with the Roland Cloud."
