"JX8P that has a Retroaktiv PG-800 MINI Controller built into it, which brings this to a whole other level. These are great as is, but you really need the PG-800 controller to do anything with it, and the original ones can be the same price as the synth..."
"Using the last of the Roland monster analog synths from 1986, the MKS-70 and the Super JX (JX-10) can be tedious when it comes to editing. Even with the original PG-800 controller from Roland.
But with a Vecoven Firmware chip V.3 and the MPG-70 controller from Retroaktiv, things goes a lot faster and smoother."
"What's up everybody? Welcome to Midiverse - TV! Today we're going to be looking at a modification for the Roland JX-8P, this is the PG-800 Mini internal kit from Retroaktiv. This adds the functionality of the PG-800, let's check it out!"
"The PG-800 Mini is a compact controller for the Roland JX-8P, Super JX, and MKS-70 synthesizers. This unit comes fully assembled, tested, and ready to be plugged into a JX. Units are available in black gloss and matte black cases.
"The PG-800 Mini is a miniature knob controller that mounts inside of the Roland JX-8P or Super JX. This video demonstrates the PG-800 Mini's random tone generator function, as well as the scratch patch function.
Tapping the WRITE button on the PG-800 Mini will generate a generic "scratch patch", which consists of two sawtooth waves, not detuned, through an open filter and a gated VCA. It serves as a great starting point when creating a new program.
Holding the WRITE button will generate a random program.
The unit used in this demo is running Vecoven 4.x firmware, and has the Vecoven PWM PCBs installed."
